Background: Individuals with schizophrenia diagnoses are high-risk for dropout from mental health treatments, yet few studies have examined whether familial involvement in therapy impacts dropout.
Methods: We examined whether familial involvement and other demographic variables predicted dropout among 101 patients enrolled in culturally informed group therapy for schizophrenia (CIGT-S), which incorporates collectivistic principles and spiritual coping into treatment. We reviewed records and conducted follow-up calls to identify reasons for dropout, and performed survival analyses to identify when dropout was likely.
Results: Familial involvement was linked to greater engagement with treatment and lower dropout, signifying a mechanism for improving treatment attendance in this group. Ethnic minorities and patients with higher symptom severity demonstrated higher rates of dropout. Most patients dropped out of CIGT-S before treatment began. However, significantly lower levels of dropout were observed among those who made it to session 9 (end of the spirituality module). An inability to maintain contact with participants was the most cited reason for dropout within records, and structural reasons (e.g., moving away) were commonly cited among participants who were successfully followed-up with.
Discussion: Future work may identify whether family functioning or the quality of familial relationships may predict familial involvement and, consequently, treatment attendance.

ABSTRACTBackground Recovery is a key outcome within healthcare services and can be assessed using the Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery (QPR). Research indicates good psychometric properties in community samples, but no research has extended this to inpatient settings. The face validity of the QPR has not been assessed. This research aimed to explore the psychometric properties of the QPR in an adult mental health inpatient rehabilitation setting.Method 150 inpatients completed the QPR questionnaire. 10 inpatients participated in a semi-structured interview to assess face and concurrent validity.Results The results indicated a single factor solution was appropriate, explaining 51.4% of the variance. Internal consistency was excellent (α = 0.94). No floor or ceiling effects were observed. Interviews indicated good face and content validity.Discussion Overall, this research supports the use of the 15-item QPR in inpatient rehabilitation settings as all assessed psychometric properties were adequate. Some participants suggested additional aspects of their recovery that the QPR did not cover, supporting the use of the QPR alongside other symptom-specific measures.KEYWORDS: QPRrecoveryrehabilitationvalidation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

Background The outcomes of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for distressing voices and their measurement have mostly been determined by professionals, with little focus on the outcomes that matter to people who hear voices. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore views about the outcomes of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for distressing voices from the perspectives of lived and professional experience.

Background Paranoia is a common experience prevalent in the general population. Social identity refers to our sense of belonging to a social group and has been implicated in the formation and maintenance of paranoia. Research into these mechanisms is still emerging. It was hypothesised that trust and hostile attribution bias would mediate this relationship in a UK general population sample.

Background Identifying facilitators and barriers to help-seeking for first-episode psychosis (FEP) is a topic growing in research and clinical interest, particularly lived experience perspectives. This meta-ethnography aimed to synthesize the findings of qualitative studies that explored personal accounts of help-seeking for FEP.

Over the past 35 years, peer-run Hearing Voices Groups (HVGs) have proliferated across the globe. More recently, research has begun to focus on the precise psychological mechanisms that make groups effective and enable individual psychological change. While important in their own right, theories of peer support are limited in their ability to explain the psychological mechanisms by which complex psychological transformation occurs. As such, it is necessary to look beyond peer support and borrow theories from the psychotherapeutic literature. Yalom and Leszcz’s (2005) seminal work, The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy, may help shed some light on the psychological dynamics that bring about change in HVGs. Peer support and group psychotherapy differ widely in their histories, philosophical underpinnings, and approach to, and understanding of, mental distress. As such, theories of group psychotherapy cannot be broadly applied to HVGs without a nuanced understanding of the differences between HVGs and psychotherapy groups. In this paper, I use my lived experience as an HVG member and facilitator to highlight these differences, and explore where Yalom’s theory may be useful at understanding the change mechanisms at play in HVGs.

Background There is evidence to suggest trauma significantly predicts risk for psychosis. Dissociation might be a key causal variable, mediating the relationship between trauma and hallucination-proneness in clinical samples.
