Efficacité des thérapies cognitives et comportementales des psychoses

Cognitive behavior therapies (CBT) for psychosis have been evaluated for nearly 10 years. They are still under-utilised in France. Efficacy of cognitive behavior therapy has been tested in a great number of studies. CBT for psychosis aims at decreasing the consequences of hallucinations, formulating alternative explanations, and modifying delusional ideas and non-psychotic beliefs influencing the content of hallucinations. Treatment strategies are slightly different, but they group around a general structure, which is briefly described. More evaluations are still needed, but results seem promising. This paper reviews the efficacy of CBT in psychosis patients.
