Abstract:
This pilot study aimed to examine the effectiveness of visual-feedback therapy for individuals with psychotic disorders. Visual-feedback therapy combines structured psychodynamic therapy and visual feedback achieved via an electronic monitoring medication cap to increase insight about medication behaviours. Thirty subjects were randomly assigned either to visual feedback or to a supportive counselling group. Medication adherence was measured by both electronic monitoring and blood plasma drug concentration levels. The results showed that, at the end of the 3-month, intervention (bimonthly sessions), adherence rates of the visual-feedback group slightly increased, but declined during the course of the study for the supportive counselling control group (P=0.026).
