A definitive randomised controlled trial of a group mindfulness-based psychological therapy for people with psychosis: the MIND-P study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness with a significant disease, economic and social burden. Persecutory delusions (beliefs that one will be harmed or mistreated) are a common symptom of schizophrenia with associated high levels of depression. International clinical guidelines recommend individual cognitive behaviour therapy for schizophrenia, but there are currently no group psychological therapies recommended in NICE guidelines. We conducted a pilot randomised controlled trial, comparing group mindfulness therapy (GMT) to treatment as usual (TAU) for people with schizophrenia and persecutory delusions where we demonstrated feasibility and acceptability. It is now timely to progress to conduct a definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT).
