Abstract

Background

Negative schemas have been highlighted as important factors in the development and maintenance of psychosis. However, evidence for schema therapy in people with experiences of psychosis and for schema-specific interventions is lacking for these disabling core beliefs. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) interventions remain a first-line recommended psychological treatment for psychosis, alongside psychotropic medication. The current review aimed for the first time to investigate if CBT interventions led to schema change in this population.

Method

A systematic search of five databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science) identified 19 eligible studies, of which 10 were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analyses.

Results

A narrative synthesis highlighted the variety in CBT intervention length and focus. A small proportion of studies highlighted schema theory within their therapy rationale and within their subsequent CBT intervention. Meta-analytic findings demonstrated that participants receiving a CBT intervention experienced a significant reduction in their negative-self schemas at the end of therapy, compared with control participants.

Conclusion

The findings provide evidence that CBT for psychosis can reduce negative schemas in people with psychosis. The review also offers a rationale for considering schema more explicitly within CBT for psychosis intervention studies and clinical practice.

期刊介绍： Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy aims to keep clinical psychologists and psychotherapists up to date with new developments in their fields. The Journal will provide an integrative impetus both between theory and practice and between different orientations within clinical psychology and psychotherapy. Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy will be a forum in which practitioners can present their wealth of expertise and innovations in order to make these available to a wider audience. Equally, the Journal will contain reports from researchers who want to address a larger clinical audience with clinically relevant issues and clinically valid research.
