This workshop will be based on a cognitive behavioral approach to understanding psychosis. The first session will focus on a developmental formulation and how early stressful life events contribute to the development and maintenance of psychotic symptoms. The second session will build on this approach to consider the overlap between the symptoms of PTSD and psychosis, and the extent to which varied psychotic presentations can be understood as complex reactions to trauma. The afternoon sessions will highlight the different possible treatment approaches for working with trauma in psychosis. These will include adapted interventions such as ‘reliving’ and ‘imagery rescripting’ as well as a ‘voice dialogue’ approach to working with voices. The aim of the workshop is to ‘demystify’ these approaches to treatment and to signpost to further available training.
