-Nurture rarther than Nature - Talking therapies - Challenge mistaken beliefes & give stratagies to deal with them - Research suggests psychotic episodes were halved in young people who only have CBT (for 6 months) and not drugs - Dr Paul Hutton's proposal - young people in danger of developing Psychosis should be offered care, including 6 months of CBT
-Weekly - Between 5 &20 weeks - Understand and challenge dellusions & hallucinations - coping stratigies - distracting themselves or shouting at the voices - Rehospitalisation decreased by 50% amongst S clients treated with CBT
- Linda Hart - Used non drug stratigies to cpe with her S - writing prevented her hearing her dead farthers voice - Art therapy helped her channel her delusions in a creative way
- Drurry - Patients that have CBT experience fewer symptoms of S & recover 25-50% more quickly than patients not on CBT- Works particually well in conjunction with drugs - Only 51% of people with S are offered CBT
-Background research into CBT - Scientific & high on reliability - Critics would argue the 'hello goodbye' effect makes validity look higher than it is
-Publication bias - Negative / neutral results of research into both treatments for S are often not published - Researchers suppress damaging access the value of the treatment - Both treatments can be one sided
