Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Sarah Bendall (Principal investigator)

Brief description Psychotic disorders (such as schizophrenia) are some of the most severe forms for mental disorder. Many people with psychosis have experienced trauma in childhood or as a result of their psychosis, and have developed post-traumatic stress disorder as a result. The aim of the proposed study is to test whether a simple psychological intervention is effective in reducing trauma symptoms in FEP. This has the potential to significantly improve outcomes in FEP.
