Background:
A one-to-one cognitive behavioural therapy intervention targeting worry significantly reduces both worry and persecutory delusions (Freeman et al., 2015).
Aim:
To adapt this intervention for group delivery and conduct a feasibility trial within routine clinical practice.
Method:
Thirteen participants were randomized to a weekly 8-session worry intervention group (n = 7) or wait-list control (n = 6).
Results:
All but one participant completed measures at all time points. Participants attended an average of six therapy sessions.
Conclusions:
Recruitment, retention and therapy uptake were feasible. Observed treatment effects were in the expected direction, but may be diluted compared with one-to-one interventions.
