暂无简介。

•Psychiatrists:
•Higher/advanced psychiatric trainees (ST4-6) working in outpatients or community mental health teams. Doctors in higher psychiatric training (ST4-6) already have basic knowledge and experience in psychiatry gained through core psychiatric training. During higher training they practice without direct supervision and aim to further develop specific competencies including communication skills. Hence, they are at the formative stage of their training, preparing to take up a consultant role in a few years time. We will focus on trainees in this pilot trial, because the effectiveness of an intervention on changing their communicative practice may be higher at this stage of their professional development.
•1. ICD-10 criteria for a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
•2. Currently attending outpatients or being cared for by community mental health teams
•3. Capable of giving informed consent
•4. Aged 18 - 65 years, both females and males
