Counteracting psychosis by optimizing interaction (INTERACT)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,

Psychotic disorders are amongst the most severe mental disorders. However, current treatments have failed to reduce disability or change the prospects for recovery for patients with a psychotic disorder. In this project, I will investigate an entirely novel therapy, targeting the core vulnerability profile of altered person-environment interactions underlying psychosis, specifically increased stre ...
