Group I: Intervention SSERTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The SSERT intervention will take place over 10 weekly individual intervention sessions of 60 minutes. SSERT for trauma history in psychosis will draw inspiration from the Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation intervention as well as other CBT and DBT-based interventions for emotion regulation and social skills functioning. Therapists will be provided with a semi-structured manual that can be implemented flexibly to consider participant needs.
