Summary

This study tests a 10-session talking therapy for young people who hear voices. The therapy, based on compassion-focused therapy, also involves a caregiver in 5 sessions. Researchers will measure how distressing the voices are and how much control the young person feels over them. The goal is to see if this approach can be used in everyday mental health care.
