Abstract
Volume I is comprised of a systematic meta-analysis, an empirical research paper and a press release. The meta-analysis reviews literature that investigated the impact of cognitive behavioural approaches on distress for those with a first or early episode psychosis. No main significant effect was found but, a significant effect was found within non-specialised services. The empirical research paper used interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore how visual hallucinations are experienced and made sense of within a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis. Five superordinate themes were identified: ‘It’s not only a visual experience’, ‘Agency’, ‘Role of others, ‘Coming to know the experience’ and ‘Creating a narrative’.
