Aim:
To conduct a preliminary feasibility examination of cognitive-behavioural social skills training (CBSST) in a first-episode psychosis population.
Methods:
Twenty two first-episode psychosis clients participated in an 18-week CBSST group adapted for a younger population.
Results:
Adaptive functioning significantly improved following group participation and was maintained at 3-month follow-up.
Conclusion:
The CBSST group was feasible and well accepted in the first episode programme. These preliminary findings warrant further testing in a larger trial to determine efficacy.
