Abstract
The psychotherapy of psychosis has a long history (Stone 1999). Cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp) did not gather momentum until the late 1980s and early 1990s, when groups of cognitive psychologists in Great Britain and elsewhere began studying the cognitive processes underlying psychosis (Bentall and Kaney 1989). This led to a cognitive model of psychosis (Garety et al. 2001) and treatments based on that model. A number of comprehensive textbooks of CBTp are currently available (Chadwick et al. 1996; Kingdon and Turkington 2005; Beck et al. 2009). To date there have been numerous evidence-based controlled trials of CBTp which testify to the effectiveness of CBTp (Wykes et al. 2008; Tai and Turkington 2009).
