Trauma-focused psychological interventions for psychosis: Meta-analytic evidence of differential effects on delusions and hallucinations
Overview
This meta-analysis examines the effects of trauma-focused psychological interventions on psychosis-related symptoms, including delusions, hallucinations, and PTSD, across 36 studies involving individuals with psychotic disorders or subclinical symptoms. The resource reports that while these interventions significantly reduce delusions and PTSD symptoms, they show limited benefit for hallucinations and other secondary outcomes like depression and anxiety. It is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the differential efficacy of trauma-focused treatments within psychosis care.
