Overview: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for psychosis is an evidence-based method to reduce distress and disability related to psychotic experiences. These experience are conceptualized less as “symptoms” of an underlying disorder, and more as being understandable in relationship to an individual’s life story, and capable of being altered when people experiment with different ways of thinking and behaving. Learn how to both collaborate with individuals who are experiencing psychosis by "exploring the evidence" rather than imposing beliefs; and assist in developing coping options so they are not forced to rely entirely on the often limited effectiveness of medications to address problems.
Ron Unger, LCSW is a therapist, consultant and educator specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for psychosis. He has presented numerous seminars about CBT for psychosis, and the relationships between trauma and psychosis, emphasizing practical and humanistic ways of working with difficulties that can too easily be perceived as being “beyond understanding.” Ron is also coordinator for the Community Support Program at the Center for Family Development in Eugene, Oregon.
