Effectiveness to Implementation
Haddock, Gillian
The University of Manchester, United Kingdom
This keynote address will review current progress in the development of cognitive behavioural treatments of psychosis and will summarise key research evidence. Unresolved research and clinical questions will be highlighted, particularly in relation to how implementation of available treatments is poor. Results from recent trials of psychological therapies will be presented which will highlight how traditional CBT approaches to working with psychosis need to be developed and adapted for complex needs (such as co-morbid substance misuse or problems or aggression and violence) and to ensure that preferences of service users in relation to their individual views on their psychosis, their recovery and the type of treatment which they receive are addressed. Data from recent work on the development of new service user outcomes measures for psychosis, and novel ways of delivering recovery oriented psychological treatments for psychosis will be discussed.
