Brief psychological interventions for schizophrenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of brief individual psychological interventions for schizophrenia, defined as treatments shorter than the standard 16-session CBTp protocol. The authors analyzed 14 randomized controlled trials involving over 1,300 participants to assess outcomes across six intervention types, including brief CBT, reasoning training, and digital support. The resource reports statistically significant improvements in psychotic symptoms, paranoia, depression, and wellbeing, noting specific efficacy for brief CBT on psychotic symptoms and reasoning training on data gathering.
