Abstract

Cognitive therapy has been effectively used in the treatment of psychotic symptoms like delusions and hallucinations. Most of the work in this area has focused only on the patient. We describe a patient with schizophrenia, whose delusions were well managed by his mother using informal cognitive therapy principles. Primary carers could be more involved as 'co-therapists' in the cognitive treatment of psychotic symptoms in some patients. Future work needs to explore the effectiveness and feasibility of more structured cognitive therapy input for carers (as co-therapists) of patients with psychosis.

摘要

认知疗法已被有效地用于治疗妄想和幻觉等精神病症状。该领域的大多数研究仅关注患者。我们描述了一位患有精神分裂症的患者，其母亲运用非正式认知疗法原则很好地处理了他的妄想症状。在某些患者的精神病症状认知治疗中，主要照顾者作为“联合治疗师”可以更多地参与进来。未来的工作需要探索为精神病患者的照顾者（作为联合治疗师）提供更结构化认知疗法投入的有效性和可行性。
