Efficacy of an emotion-oriented cognitive behavior therapy for delusions (CBTd-E) compared to waitlist in a single-blinded randomized-controlled trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates an emotion-oriented variant of cognitive behavioral therapy for delusions (CBTd-E) against a waitlist control in 94 patients with persistent delusions. The study reports that while the intervention did not significantly reduce delusional beliefs compared to the waitlist, it showed significant improvements in general psychopathology and specific target mechanisms such as cognitive reappraisal and self-esteem.
