Research Summary
|
|
Mindfulness has been shown to be an innovative and effective therapy and the evidence base for its applicability to people experiencing psychosis needs expanding. SPFT’s RCT ‘Mindfulness-based therapy groups for distressing voices (M4V) aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new kind of ‘mindfulness-based group therapy’ (MBCT) to help people learn new ways of managing and living with distressing voices.
I work with this study, seeking a qualitative understanding of the RCTs participants experiences, mindfulness as an agenda and therapeutic option in Sussex.
