‘Psychosis’ is a term used to describe a number of psychological symptoms that impact on a person’s understanding or perception of reality. It commonly occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood, and affects around 3 in every 100 people in Australia.¹

In this talk Victoria with discuss her work in the field of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for psychosis as well as the specific issues faced by people who experience psychosis.

As CBT, in conjunction with medication, is the evidence-based treatment for psychosis, it is essential to apply these in both hospital and community settings.

Victoria will outline her individual work in this field and explore the effectiveness and practical aspects of CBT for auditory hallucinations and delusions.
