Can family counseling stop psychosis before it starts?

NCT ID NCT04338152

Summary

This study tests whether intensive family therapy can help young people at high risk for developing psychosis. 220 youth ages 13-25 will receive either 18 family therapy sessions or 3 family sessions plus individual support over 6 months, with follow-up for 18 months. The goal is to see if working with families on communication and coping skills reduces early symptoms and improves functioning better than individual-focused support alone.
