- Universidad Complutense de Madrid
- Brief Summary
The intervention is called Feliz-Mente, with third generation therapy components that aims to improve wellbeing and self-enhancement. Without intervening directly on the symptoms, it is expected to increase positive experiences, the use of personal strengths and positive relationships, and aims to build a more meaningful self-narrative in persons with subclinical paranoia. Feliz-Mente is a group intervention of 12 sessions in which participants are expected to perform exercises during and between sessions by the use of a mobile application to improve treatment adherence and daily practice. The design for the present study is a randomized controlled trial, which compares the post-intervention measures of the experimental group (group receiving the intervention and the daily use of a mobile application of the program) with the post-intervention measures of the control group (treatment as usual + waiting list).
