  • Trial entry criteria will be assessed using the Comprehensive Assessment of At\-Risk Mental States (CAARMS). Patents must satisfy one of the following to be eligible for inclusion into this study:
  • 1\. Brief limited intermittent psychotic symptoms (BLIPS) defined as a score of 6 on any positive item, with symptoms lasting less than one week and resolving without antipsychotic medication
  • 2\. Attenuated symptoms (AS), defined as the presence of positive symptoms that score 3\-5 and have begun in the last year and which occur at least once per week in the last month
  • 3\. State\-plus\-trait group (SPT), operationally defined by the presence of an at\-risk mental state (recent deterioration in function of 30 points or more on the Global Assessment of Functioning) plus either a family history indicated by a first degree relative with a history of any psychotic disorder or a diagnosis of schizotypal personality disorder in the participant
  • In addition, the patient must fulfil both of the following:
  • 4\. Age 14\-35
  • 5\. Seeking help for symptoms (the latter criterion is necessary to ensure that the provision of treatment to the participants is ethical)

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Current or previous receipt of antipsychotic medication for more than two days
  • 2\. Moderate to severe learning disability
  • 3\. Organic impairment
  • 4\. Non\-English speaking (since this would prevent the use of standardised assessment instruments)
