“…Moreover, all controlled psychotherapy studies used a group format. It cannot be ruled out that common nonspecific factors of structured group psychotherapy such as e.g., emotional cohesion, sense of belonging, sense of universality, shared action orientation or coping modeling ( Kealy & Kongerslev, 2022 ) were at least as associated with treatment outcome as the specific CBT interventions. It should also be noted that three out of the four controlled CBT studies used the same CBT manual and had a high degree of overlap of study teams ( Mitchell et al., 2006 ; Müller et al., 2013 ; Müller, Mueller, et al., 2008 ) which reduces the generalisability of findings.…”

“…However, some patients also mention that they prefer group therapy because it allows them to share experiences with other group members ( Osma et al, 2019 ). Practitioners agree that establishing a sense of sharing and belonging to a collective, as well as learning from other participants, are among the key advantages of the group setting which may outweigh drawbacks such as the inevitable lack of individualization ( Kealy and Kongerslev, 2022 ) and lack of privacy as well as participants’ fear of criticism from others ( Osma et al, 2019 ; Raphael et al, 2021b ).…”

“…This bias also constitutes a central mechanism in the development and maintenance of delusions (Eisenacher and Zink, 2017). Another cognitive bias contributing to the development of delusions, particularly persecutory delusions (Murphy et al, 2018), is the self-serving attributional style first described by Kaney and Bentall (1989), Bentall et al (1991Bentall et al ( , 1994. MCT is a multimedia-based group intervention that uses engaging exercises to provoke, for example, hasty decision making within a group session and thus produce so-called aha moments, allowing patients to recognize their biased thinking directly through the exercise instead of through theoretical explanations.…”
