Ten misconceptions about CBT for psychosis with Dr Katherine Newman-Taylor

In this episode, Steph talks with clinical psychologist and CBT therapist Dr Katherine Newman-Taylor about her paper "Ten Misconceptions About CBT for Psychosis", recently published in The Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. Katherine shares insights into how CBT for psychosis has evolved from its early days, when psychological approaches were thought to have little place in treating psychosis, to its current role as a recommended, evidence-based therapy. They discuss some of the most common misunderstandings that still persist today including: ·        The myth that CBTp is about "thinking positively" or correcting thoughts ·        Misconceptions around the role of the therapeutic relationship in CBTp ·        The belief that some people are "too complex" for CBTp Katherine discusses why these misconceptions matter, how they can lead to people missing out on effective therapy, and what clinicians can do to challenge them. She also reflects on the importance of delivering high-quality, full-dose, evidence-based CBT for people with psychosis, ensuring that all clients receive the same standard of care we'd wish for our own loved ones.
