A case series study of compassion‐focused therapy for distressing experiences in psychosis
Overview
This paper presents a case series study evaluating the acceptability and clinical outcomes of Compassion-Focused Therapy for psychosis (CFTp) in eight individuals with distressing psychotic experiences. The resource details a 26-session intervention designed to address social threat, shame, and self-criticism, reporting clinically reliable improvements in depression, stress, and distress for most participants during the treatment phase. It is intended for readers interested in research on CFT applications for psychosis, noting that while the intervention was feasible and acceptable, further investigation via randomized controlled trials is recommended.
