Can a new psychotherapy help people with psychosis feel more like themselves?
NCT ID NCT06597864
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests a new type of talking therapy designed for people with early psychosis who experience 'self-disorders' — a feeling of being disconnected from themselves. Eight adults with schizophrenia or psychosis risk will receive the therapy and then be interviewed about their experience. The goal is to learn if the therapy feels helpful and useful, not yet to prove it works.

Active substance
Seven-step phenomenological psychotherapy for self-disorders
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new talking therapy that helps people with psychosis feel more connected to themselves and others.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 8 people, so results may not apply widely. It is early-stage and focuses on participant experience, not proven effectiveness.
