Abstract

This single case study investigates a woman with organic hallucinosis, who was assessed using the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale (CPRS). She then received cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for 11 months. The CBT approach involved engaging the patient and specific symptom targeting. An individual formulation was developed, leading to schema focused intervention and relapse prevention. The subjects total CPRS scores and schizophrenia subscale scores were reduced dramatically.
