Feeling heard: an uncontrolled feasibility study evaluating a novel intervention pathway for psychosis patients distressed by hearing voices

Background Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for psychosis (CBTp) has been the psychological intervention recommended for the treatment of psychosis for the past two decades. However, benefits from and access to CBTp are limited. Responses to these issues have included the targeting of CBTp at single symptoms and the delivery of CBT-informed interventions by briefly trained therapists. We sought to combine these approaches by drawing upon a wider workforce of therapists to deliver a pathway of interventions for distressing voices.
