Overview
• Rationale, EBM and service user opinion • Evidence base: quantitative and qualitative • Cognitive model and therapy • Recent trial results • NICE guidance, implications and directions
Aripriprazole 10mg/day or 30mg/day Versus Placebo: PANSS Change in acute psychosis
Choices • “The literature makes it abundantly clear that service
users want to be offered more than just medication” (Warner, Mariathasan, Lawton-Smith, & Samele, 2006)
• Greater partnership and shared decision making with service users – valuing their experiences and making their preferences central to a recovery focused approach adopted by all services (Schizophrenia commission, 2012)
Results- Defining recovery Item % of 381
1 Recovery is the achievement of a personally acceptable quality of life 91 (89)
2 Recovery is feeling better about yourself 91 (90)
3 Recovery is a return to a state of wellness 89 (87)
4 Recovery is the process of regaining active control over one's life 88 (86)
5 Recovery is being happy with who you are as a person 87 (86)
6 Recovery is a way of living a satisfying, hopeful and contributing life, even with the limitations caused by symptoms/experiences of psychosis
87 (85)
7 Recovery is about building a meaningful and satisfying life, as defined by the person themselves, whether or not there are ongoing or recurring symptoms or problems
86 (84)
8 Recovery is knowing that you can help yourself become better 86 (82)
9 Recovery is the unique journey of an individual living with mental health problems to build a life for themselves beyond illness
85 (82)
10 Recovery is learning how to live well in the context of continued mental health problems 84 (82)
11 Recovery is understanding how to control the symptoms of psychosis 83 (83)
12 Recovery is when there is meaning and purpose to life 83 (82)
13 Recovery is a process of changing one's orientation and behaviour from a negative focus on a troubling event, condition or circumstance to the positive restoration, rebuilding, reclaiming or taking control of one's life
83 (82)
14 Recovery is believing that you can meet your current personal goals 82 (81)
Principles of Cognitive Therapy • A cognitive model is required from which to empirically derive effective
treatments: FORMULATE USING MODEL • What are you concerned about? SHARE A GOAL • You are not mad, your difficulties are understandable: NORMALISING MESSAGES AND LANGUAGE • How you appraise events contributes to distress: EVENT – HOW MAKE SENSE – HOW I FEEL – WHAT I DO • Either it is real or you believe it to be real: SIT ON A COLLABORATIVE FENCE • Test it out – drop your safety-seeking responses: EXPERIMENT IN & OUT OF SESSION
Intervention - Process
• establish trust and therapeutic relationship • assessment • establish shared problem list • translate into shared goals • formulation • interventions derived from formulation • emphasis on tasks between sessions
(including for therapists)
Some Common Strategies • Advantages and disadvantages
• Normalisation (including formulation) • Evaluate appraisals using evidential
analysis and alternative explanations • Evaluate beliefs about self and others • Evaluate helpfulness of responses • Test beliefs using behavioural
experiments
“I don’t think it’s [CBT] used to eliminate them altogether its knowing why you get the voices erm… how to deal with them basically”
“We could test out our predictions, and like look
for other explanations like, there was some exercises in the CBT that I could do...so eventually I’d feel, like I’d get a de-escalating feeling of anxiety”
ACTION: Assessing Cognitive Therapy Instead Of Neuroleptics
(formerly North Of Britain Treatment Without Antipsychotics Trial)
• Two site single blind RCT with two conditions (CT plus TAU vs. TAU) for people with psychosis not taking antipsychotic medication (due to refusal or discontinuation)
• Assessments are 3 monthly following the initial baseline assessment (i.e. at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months)
• Follow-up assessments are at 12, 15 and 18 months
• Recruitment target of n=80 – final n = 74

• Blind breaks – 13 in total, 4 of which were in TAU and 9 were in CBT – Most common method of break was via a mental health professional
disclosing (n = 5) and by the participant disclosing (n = 4) • Potential serious adverse events
– 8 in total – 2 in CBT arm both of which occurred post therapy (O/D = 1; risk to others = 1) – 6 in the TAU arm (death = 2; section 3 = 3; O/D = 1) – None considered related to trial participation or CBT

Psychosis ‘prodrome’
• A period of months to years prior to the onset of Psychosis (assessed retrospectively)
• Progressive symptoms/signs • Mood • Thinking • Behaviour • Cognitive functions
• Reduction in ability to function
Onset of psychosis
Prodrome
First psychotic symptom
Build up
Emergence of
psychosis
Why is early detection important?
• If psychosis is detected early, many problems can be prevented and functioning can be restored.
• The earlier the problems are treated, the greater the chance of a successful recovery.
• Onset is often in a critical stage of a young person’s life. Adolescents and young adults are just starting to develop their own identity, form lasting relationships, and make plans for the future.
• People are help seeking and distressed.
Ultra High Risk Criteria Original PACE criteria (Yung et al. 1996) Age between 14 and 30 years
AND Family history of DSM-IV psychotic disorder and reduction on
GAF scale of ≥ 30 AND/OR
Attenuated symptoms, occurring several times during the week for at least one week AND/OR
Brief, limited or intermittent psychotic symptoms (BLIPS) for less than one week and resolving spontaneously
Modified criteria now assessed using CAARMS
AXIS 1 Disorders • 91 young people referred to PACE met ARMS criteria:
– A total of 76 (83.5%) had a current/past Axis 1 disorder – Twenty-three (23.3%) had more than one current disorder

Common themes in EDIE 1 problem lists (French and Morrison, 2003)
• Anxiety – I’m going mad / identity – Social anxiety – Worry & metacognition – PTSD
• Mood & activity – Boredom / depression / hopelessness / self-esteem – College/job/money
• Social Networks – Relationships – friends, family, partners – Loneliness / lack of confidant – I’m different / odd one out / “square peg in a round hole”

Early Detection: Problems • Ethics of interventions in pre-psychotic phase
• Solution:
– employ interventions with minimal risks / side effects – employ interventions that will be useful to those who
will never become psychotic – informed choice
• Balancing the costs and benefits of treatment must be
weighted in some way according to the ratio of people actually helped to those unnecessarily treated
Our Approach
• To increase awareness in primary care services, secondary care services, voluntary sector, further education and the community
• Increase referrals through – Training for potential referrers – Rapid response – Flexible approach to clients – Positive, user friendly service
• Use of cognitive therapy
• Why CT? – Effective for psychotic symptoms (AS) – Effective for relapse prevention (BLIPS) – Effective for mood disorders
very frequent in prodrome (Birchwood, 1996) DSM IV outcomes of at-risk population
– Session structure, problem list and goals useful for other difficulties

NICE guidelines 2014 Preventing psychosis • If a person is considered to be at increased
risk of developing psychosis (as described in recommendation 1.2.1.1): – offer individual cognitive behavioural therapy
(CBT) with or without family intervention (delivered as described in section 1.3.7) and
– offer interventions recommended in NICE guidance for people with any of the anxiety disorders, depression, emerging personality disorder or substance misuse. [new 2014]
NICE guidelines 2014 Preventing psychosis • Do not offer antipsychotic medication:
– to people considered to be at increased risk of developing psychosis (as described in recommendation 1.2.1.1) or
– with the aim of decreasing the risk of or preventing psychosis. [new 2014]
• Antipsychotics help some people, but not all, and are often associated with severe side effects
• Service users want choice and access to evidence based talking therapies that promote recovery, help with symptoms and functioning
• Overall, there is evidence to support CT for people with psychosis combined with APs (both end of treatment and follow-up): recommended by NICE, PORT etc.
• CT is deliverable, safe and acceptable to people with psychosis not taking APs
• CT reduced severity of symptoms and improves social and personal functioning in people not taking medication
• Evidence-based alternatives should be
available to people who choose not to take antipsychotics and those who do not benefit from antipsychotics
• Need an evidence base comparing these treatments to facilitate informed choice
• Definitive research required: adequately powered RCTs
• Can identify people at risk of FEP • CBT can prevent transition to psychosis over
12 months • Need more research on feasibility of family
intervention in people at risk of FEP
Future Questions
• Who it helps and who it doesn’t • Active ingredients • Unwanted effects • Availability / access • Peer delivery • EBM combined with choice & involvement of
users and carers • Development of measures and methods
