#tbt STAR’s very own @PeterPanayi6 featured on ITV Granada as part of a very important piece on the Culturally Adapted Family Intervention study @cafistudy. itv.com/news/granada/2…
Thanks also to everyone involved in our mechanisms add-on study @BentallProf, @DrLiamMason, Rebecca Elliot, @PeterPanayi6, @zclfreeman
We are delighted to have reached the end of recruitment for STAR! So grateful to all our participants, the teams involved and our many collaborators. A huge thank you to everyone who helped us get to this stage.
Some good news to start the new year - the Sussex STAR team @SPFT_NHS @Research_SPFT have officially completed recruitment for the STAR trial!
3/3 This study suggests that therapists should inform people that symptoms may increase but evidence suggests this is not linked to outcomes, and persist with memory work (with informed consent) if this happens, using a collaboratively agreed plan to support coping with symptoms.
2/3 Therapists often have concerns about the impact of trauma therapies for people with complex mental health problems. This may mean people are not offered evidence-based therapies, or memory work is discontinued prematurely if the person experiences difficulties.
1/3 NEW PAPER led by the brilliant Simone Burger. The first study to demonstrate that exacerbations in post-traumatic stress symptoms are common (46.5%) during trauma therapies for psychosis but unrelated to outcome or dropout! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
@molly_heeger @aqsac_ @PeterPanayi6 Thank you Molly, we miss you over at STAR! Hope all is going well with the DClin! ☺️
Over the festive period, the Manchester site has won the race having completed the very first STAR 2-year follow up! Congrats to the 1st person getting all the way through 😃
Psychosis is often accompanied by cognitive difficulties with memory and attention. Lots of practical tips from Dr Sarah Swan on how to adapt therapy sessions for people with cognitive difficulties #TherapistTwitter #CBT @STARtrial_ @KingsIoPPN @MaudsleyNHS #psychosis
The cornerstone of CBT therapy for psychosis is therapeutic style and engagement - it's critical to get the basics right @STARtrial_ @KingsIoPPN @MaudsleyNHS #CBTWorks
The STAR trial’s Co-ordinator Dr. Sarah Swan and our Principal Investigator Prof. @EmmanuellPeters were able to share their insights on CBT for Psychosis for @BespokeMHealth. Thank you to all those who have joined!
