Scales to measure dimensions of hallucinations and delusions: the psychotic symptom rating scales (PSYRATS).
TLDR
It is concluded that the PSYRATS are useful assessment instruments and can complement existing measures and have excellent inter-rater reliability.Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Scales to measure the severity of different dimensions of auditory hallucinations and delusions are few. Biochemical and psychological treatments target dimensions of symptoms and valid and reliable measures are necessary to measure these. METHOD: The inter-rater reliability and validity of the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS: auditory hallucination subscale and delusions subscale), which measure several dimensions of auditory hallucinations and delusions were examined in this study. RESULTS: The two scales were found to have excellent inter-rater reliability. Their validity as compared with the KGV scale (Krawiecka et al. 1977) was explored. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the PSYRATS are useful assessment instruments and can complement existing measures.read more

Disturbances of agency and ownership in schizophrenia: An auditory verbal event related potentials study
Tim Bühler,Jochen Kindler,Rahel C. Schneider,Werner Strik,Thomas Dierks,Daniela Hubl,Thomas Koenig +6 more
TL;DR: The findings were more pronounced in non-hallucinators, suggesting a more profoundly disturbed sense of agency compared to hallucinators, and a contemporary increase of global field power in both patient groups indicates a compensatory recruitment of other mechanisms not normally associated with the processing of agency and ownership.

The Beliefs about Paranoia Scale: Confirmatory factor analysis and tests of a metacognitive model of paranoia in a clinical sample
Elizabeth Murphy,Sarah Tully,Melissa Pyle,Andrew Gumley,David Kingdon,Matthias Schwannauer,Douglas Turkington,Anthony P. Morrison +7 more
TL;DR: Ordinal regression showed that positive beliefs about paranoia as a survival strategy andnegative beliefs were both associated with severity of suspiciousness, the first study to show that the co-occurrence of positive and negative beliefs was associated with increased suspiciousness.

Client experiences of blending a coping-focused therapy for auditory verbal hallucinations with smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment and intervention.
TL;DR: Key findings revealed that participants perceived EMA/I technology as helping capture their experience more accurately and communicate this more effectively to the therapist, which, in combination with coping prompts developed in-session, deepened the therapeutic relationship.

Effectiveness of metacognitive interventions for mental disorders in adults: a systematic review protocol (METACOG).
TL;DR: A systematic review investigating the effectiveness of different metacognitive interventions for various mental disorders is missing and will provide researchers, clinicians and patients with substantial information on the intervention’s effectiveness across different mental disorders.

TL;DR: It is proposed that two distinct syndromes can be discerned from the phenomenological profiles, and the positive syndrome represents productive features superadded to the mental status and the negative syndrome represents absence of normal functions.

TL;DR: It is shown that highly disparate relationships with voices-fear, reassurance, engagement and resistance-reflect vital differences in beliefs about the voices, and how these core beliefs about voices may become a new target for treatment.
