Brief report describing the integration of two psychotherapy evidence-based practices within coordinated specialty care services for early psychosis.

ABSTRACT

Individual psychotherapy is routinely offered within coordinated specialty care services for early psychosis. In the United States, 2 primary models have been implemented cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis and individualized resiliency training. However, coordinated specialty care services have typically chosen between these approaches, thus limiting access to the unique aspects of each of the models, missing opportunities related to workforce development, and reducing consumer choice. Opportunities exist for integration of these 2 models. This brief report provides an overview of individualized resiliency training and cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis. In addition, elements of synergy between the 2 models are identified and opportunities for an integrated approach highlighted. Further study of the core elements of an integrated approach is required, and guidance for clinicians to support clinical decision making is needed.
