Abstract
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for psychosis has been emphasized over the last decade within research in schizophrenia and in bipolar disorders. Perhaps surprisingly for a psychotherapy that is better known as a treatment for depression and anxiety disorders, the paper by Aaron Beck that first introduced the CBT model in 1952 addressed the treatment of a case of psychosis. CBT practitioners have therefore offered CBT treatments for psychosis over several decades, but it is only more recently that large-scale outcome research has provided support for the effectiveness of CBT in psychosis (Turkington and Siddle 1998). The following discussion aims to provide some comments on the clinical case of Helen from a cognitive behaviour therapy perspective and is based solely upon the descriptions contained within the case report.
