Talking therapy for people with psychosis and trauma
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a talking therapy called Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is practical and helpful for people who have psychosis and have been through trauma. NET helps people process painful memories, and the researchers want to see if it can be used safely in this group.
