Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for schizophrenia - outcomes for functioning, distress and quality of life: a meta-analysis
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the impact of cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) on functioning, distress, and quality of life in individuals with schizophrenia, drawing data from 36 randomized controlled trials. The authors report a small, significant improvement in functioning at the end of treatment that does not persist at follow-up, alongside a small benefit for distress that becomes non-significant after adjusting for publication bias. The study finds no evidence that CBTp improves quality of life post-intervention.
