A Comprehensive Third-generation Intervention for People With Psychosis and Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms
Sponsor: Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Summary
Existing data suggest that both trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are very common among individuals with psychosis. The presence of PTSD symptoms in psychosis is associated with worse clinical outcomes and poorer social functioning. However, PTSD is a poorly attended and poorly studied condition among this population. Research to date indicates that trauma-focused treatments are safe and effective for PTSD, even when psychotic comorbidity is present. Recent systematic reviews of psychological interventions for trauma in psychosis found that are effective in reducing trauma symptoms, suggesting that they should be implemented in front-line services. Nonetheless, larger confirmative trials are required to form robust conclusions.The aim of this project is to examine the efficacy of comprehensive third-generation protocol for people with comorbid trauma and psychosis.
