Summary

This study tested a new digital tool called CBTpro that uses artificial intelligence to help therapists improve their skills in cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp). Over 600 participants, including therapists and their clients with conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, took part. The goal was to see if the tool could support high-quality therapy training and delivery in routine care settings.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: CBTpro (a digital tool using artificial intelligence to help therapists practice cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis)
What this could lead to: If successful, this tool could help more therapists deliver high-quality therapy for psychosis, potentially improving patient outcomes across the U.S.
What could go wrong: This is a development and evaluation study, not a treatment trial. The tool is meant for training therapists, not directly treating patients. Results may not lead to immediate clinical changes.
