Interventions focused on specific symptoms, such as paranoia, show promise and typically target cognitive and behavioural maintenance processes. Anxiety is implicated in theories of paranoia; however, the nature of the relationship remains unclear. We review experimental studies of paranoia and anxiety against existing cognitive models. Method A systematic review strategy identified experimental studies assessing levels of anxiety and paranoia. Papers were assessed for quality, and data relating to samples, measures, designs and key findings were extracted and narratively synthesised. Results Nineteen studies met criteria for the review. Most found that manipulations impacting anxiety also impacted paranoia, with preliminary evidence for a causal relationship. The overall quality of the research was weak. Discussion We recommend a research agenda to confirm initial evidence for the causal role of anxiety in increased paranoia, and whether targeting affect, in addition to cognitive and behavioural maintenance processes, improves outcomes in clinical groups and those at risk of psychosis.","PeriodicalId":46344,"journal":{"name":"Psychosis-Psychological Social and Integrative Approaches","volume":"14 1","pages":"162 - 175"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17522439.2021.1909112","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42605967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current assessment tools do not capture positive aspects of VH as comprehensively as they do negative aspects. This may limit assessment and formulation of VH when people seek support from mental health services. Our review question was therefore:- ‘Do voice-hearing assessment measures capture the positive experiences of individuals, and to what extent?’ Method We conducted a systematic review of assessment measures which included at least one item on VH. We developed a novel framework to define “positive VH experiences”, which was co-produced by clinical experts in psychosis and people with VH experiences. This framework was then used to identify and map items relating to positive aspects of VH. Results Thirty-three measures were identified, of which twenty incorporated positive VH experiences. Measures published within the last decade (2009-2019) captured a greater number and diversity of positive VH experiences, compared to measures published prior to 2009. Items relating to the function/intention of voices and the emotional impact, were most commonly identified. Discussion Results suggest that research perceptions around VH are broadening and the nuances of experiences are increasingly considered alongside everyday and positive psychological functioning. Implications for both services and voice-hearers are discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":46344,"journal":{"name":"Psychosis-Psychological Social and Integrative Approaches","volume":"14 1","pages":"176 - 189"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17522439.2021.1924242","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43812710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods 92 young adults were assessed with the battery of cognitive tests, TCI, CES-D, CAARMS, PQ-16, and CD-RISC-10. Linear regression was conducted to check, if resilience predicted the level of psychopathology. Correlational analysis was conducted to verify the relationships of resilience with neurocognitive and personality measures. A hierarchical multiple regression model was built to explain the predictors of resilience. Results Lower resilience predicted higher severity of the total CAARMS score, but was not related to positive symptoms. Cognition, personality, and depressive symptoms affected resilience. The strongest predictor of resilience was the severity of depressive symptoms.

She died in Amsterdam on the 31st of May 2021. Sandra and her husband Marius Romme were the founders of the international Hearing Voices Network in partnership with numerous voice hearers. “It started in our living room” Sandra used to say. Their house was always open to people who wanted to change the world. What began as a humble, grassroots initiative has evolved and developed in the following 35 years into a human rights movement and a global mental health organisation. Sandra trained as a scientific journalist and met Marius, then a professor in social psychiatry through their shared passion of horse riding. They soon became professionally involved and later fell in love and began a long and fruitful relationship. Many people around the world joined them on this road of empowerment and were inspired to change their lives and that of others. Sandra was an energetic, ambitious, and warm woman. She could easily connect with people and was always interested in their stories. Voice hearers confided in her. Sandra and Marius created the Maastricht Hearing Voices Interview that is now globally used as a tool to elucidate personal meaning and clarity on the voice hearing experience. Together they published several books of which Accepting Voices (Romme & Escher, 1993), Making Sense of Voices (Romme & Escher, 2000) and Living with Voices (Romme et al., 2009) are the most important; the titles represent the new paradigm they created. Sandra started her own research after she had organised an impressive conference for voice hearing children and their parents in the Zoo of Amsterdam in 1995. She embarked on her groundbreaking PhD with 80 children who heard voices, in Birmingham and Maastricht, who she followed for three years (2002b; Escher, 2005; Escher et al., 2003, 2004, 2002a). Important conclusions she discovered were: that there were no different outcomes in the children who were in treatment and those who were not in treatment; most children did not hear voices anymore (60%), and children can learn to cope with their voices. She published her accessible book about her research that was both for children and parents containing hopeful information (Escher, 2010). Sandra was passionate that as many of the voice hearers that she had encountered began hearing voices in childhood, she was keen that children should be diverted from services that might pathologise their experiences and derail them into a life as a long-term psychiatric patient. The key message was that hearing voices is a common, human experience which is often intimately bound up in meaningful responses to difficult life events. Sandra and Marius started Resonance, the Dutch network for voice hearers and were involved for many years. Sandra was publisher of the journal “Klankspiegel”. She was a member of the board of Intervoice (www.intervoiceonlione.org), a charity working and advocating for the emancipation of voice hearers. Since 1987 she organised many Du","PeriodicalId":46344,"journal":{"name":"Psychosis-Psychological Social and Integrative Approaches","volume":"13 1","pages":"193 - 194"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17522439.2021.1949385","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42144605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following this, we asked participants about their experiences of the book via an open ended questionnaire and a focus group discussion. Results We conducted an inductive content analysis on the data. Evaluations of the book were positive. The book was considered easy to understand. The exercises were useful for coping with symptoms, as well as for recognising and managing relapse.

Discussion The standard characterization of negative symptoms as a loss of normal functioning should be revised, as this does not match participants’ subjective experiences. Negative symptoms rather represent hard to verbalize experiences. This difficulty of linguistic expression is not 20 a shortcoming of the person experiencing them, but characteristic of the experiences themselves.","PeriodicalId":46344,"journal":{"name":"Psychosis-Psychological Social and Integrative Approaches","volume":"14 1","pages":"227 - 236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17522439.2021.1948092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43604982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the evidence for effective psychological therapy training remains sparse, there is some support for the role of supervision and the experiential learning cycle in trainees’ progression.

Methods We completed a qualitative thematic analysis of 385 supervision questions from 11 trainee CBTp therapists. Results The analysis yielded three main themes – knowledge/content (What?) questions; procedure/process (How?) questions; and course requirements/assessment methods (Training) questions. What? questions decreased over the 20 weeks of supervision, How? questions were raised throughout, and Training questions increased prior to academic deadlines. The thematic analysis also showed that active experimentation (the final stage of the experiential learning cycle) may be omitted from supervisory practice.
