And here it is! A thread on my thesis: Precision in the understanding and treatment of paranoia. The main aim was to show the benefits of taking an early stage translational approach to treatment development for psychosis 1/9
Huge thanks to @BentallProf and @drlouisecjohns for examining my DPhil viva yesterday - it was a privilege to discuss my work with you! Thanks too my wonderful supervisors @ProfDFreeman @FelicityWaite and funders @MHRUKCharity. Thread on thesis will follow after a few days off!
New open access paper - CBT for psychosis with a young adult experiencing grandiose beliefs: a case study. With @louise_isham and @drlouisecjohns doi.org/10.1017/S1754470X251…
In our audit and evaluation of staff conceptualisation of delusions in two older adult CHMTs, staff held vastly different views. Many still see delusions merely as a symptom of a chronic disease with therapy having limited value beyond helping to ‘challenge’ delusions 1/6
We suggest using ideas from nudge theory to support a sustained approach to change. As for how to measure, ideas welcome! 5/6
thanks to @BecciDow and Kathryn Evans. Full paper (open access) 6/6: cambridge.org/core/journals/…
New open access paper: Paranoia and USEs in Parkinson's disease. We aimed to explore if our psychological models of psychosis could inform our understanding psychotic experiences in PD tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… 1/5
Cognitive-affective variables like depression and anxiety were significantly associated with PEs in structural equation models so could play a maintaining role and provide easy avenues of intervention 4/5
Officially qualified as a Clinical Psychologist from @oxipt and @UniofOxford. Huge thanks to @vaughanbell and @lihogg22 for the thoughtful and positive feedback at viva, and to @drlouisecjohns for the wonderful clinical supervision this past year. Thesis thread below! 1/5

Alongside thesis, two case reports: a worry intervention in an older adult with persecutory delusions (cpe.psychopen.eu/index.php/c…) and use of CBTp with a young adult with grandiose delusions (in prep with @louise_isham and @drlouisecjohns, coming soon!) 5/5

Continuing the fantastic work of the @SleepWell_Study to explore early intervention in sleep dysfunction will be valuable. And what about the reverse? Does intervening on paranoia subsequently improve sleep? If not, does it increase the chances of relapse? 4/5
