Do Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Interventions Lead to Schema Change in People With Psychosis? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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.
