چکیده (انگلیسی):

This single-case experiment evaluates the impact of an innovative rational-emotive cognitive treatment focused
on hallucination and delusions on quality of life, depression, anxiety, and insight in a female patient suffering
from schizophrenia. The cognitive treatment developed for this experiment was directly inspired by the work of
Ellis and Chadwick, Birchwood, and Trower. The rational-emotive cognitive approach used in the present study
effectively reduced the patient’s anxiety and depression, increased the patient’s overall quality of life and insight.
The gains were maintained at 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up. Future investigations into treatments
for psychosis should focus on patients’ insight regarding the origin of their hallucinations. Further, the link
between negative and positive psychotic symptoms should be explored
