Psychotherapy in Psychotic disorders: Principles and practice of Personal therapy Matcheri S Keshavan MD Harvard Medical School, and University of Pittsburgh NIMH MH 60902, 92440 and 105596; Disclosures: Sunovion, Otsuka Psychosocial treatments in schizophrenia: a historical overview Disorder relevant interventions SST Personal therapy Tandon, Nasrallah and Keshavan Schiz Res 2010 Effects of psychotherapy in schizophrenia: II. Comparative outcome of two forms of treatment. Gunderson et al Schiz Bull 1984;10(4):564-98. Psychoanalytic therapy is largely ineffective Major role therapy: -Psychotherapy (if used alone) is ineffective Hogarty et al 1974 Family therapy reduces relapse rates Multi-family therapy is effective in maintaining remission McFarlane et al 1995 Psychoeducation may prevent relapse Key aspects of schizophrenia relevant for personal therapy: Schizophrenia is.. • A disease of Brain Development • A disease of risk and diathesis (Zubin: Environmental stress- Biological vulnerability model) • A disease of stages • A disease of affect as well as cognition. Schizophrenia is related to the normal pruning of gray matter going haywire Gray matter loss might heighten stress responsivity (Zubin) Schizophrenia is a Cognitive and an affective disorder • Pervasive cognitive deficits – Speed – Memory – Attention – Reasoning – Tact – Synthesis • Affect (the “affective paradox”) – Decreased expression – Increased arousal – Impaired regulation Positive symptoms (40-50 %) Hallucinations Delusions Loose associations Affective symptoms (40-50 %) Depression Anxiety Stress induced relapses Functional Impairment Cognitive impairment Strongly predicts Functional outcome Negative symptoms (60-70 %) Avolition Anhedonia Anergia Asociality Alogia Cognitive (80-90%) Working memory Selective attention Schizophrenia is a disorder of stages Prodromal Transitional Premorbid Recovery Psychotic Premorbid alterations Decline begins in prodrome Post-illness onset Functional decline Psychosis Typically begins in adolescence Psychosis is actually a “late” stage of schizophrenia! Psychological aspects of schizophrenia vary with the phase of the illness and can be prevented/minimized. Prevention/early intervention Stabilization/ relapse prevention Remediation Integration Personal therapy Prodromal Premorbid Transitional Recovery Psychotic Psychosis Denial/ non-compliance Stress sensitivity, Depression/ anxiety Social incompetence Cognitive impairment Toward second- generation, disorder-relevant Psychotherapies for schizophrenia • Psychoanalytic • • Reality-adaptive therapy (Gunderson), Major role therapy (Hogarty) • • Psychoeducation (Dixon) • Increasing illness awareness • Family psychoeducation (Leff) • Primary environmental stress modification • Social skills training (Liberman) • Correcting maladaptive behavioral excesses or deficits • Cognitive Behavioral treatments • Correcting faulty cognitive schemata • Personal therapy (Hogarty) • Recognition, self monitoring and adaptive control of psychotic prodromes • Cognitive enhancement therapy Hogarty, Flesher, Eack, Keshavan • Systematic rebuilding of cognitive and social cognitive abilities Faulty defenses, regression to earlier developmental stages Early case management and supportiive help • Keshavan and Eack, 2014. in: Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders, Gabbard G.

How do I measure Up to myself, then and now? Internal Coping – Understanding schizophrenia as an environmentally sensitive psychobiological illness – Identification of what patient means by “distress”, in his own words – Identifying the interpersonal context or life event with which he/she associates this distress – Identification of internal cues of affect dys-regulation (prodromal signs) – Identification of patient’s existing autoprotective strategies to cope with stress (helpful as well as unhelpful) – Stress avoidance skills: Reinforcing prosocial statements; “one thing at a time” Early or Warning Signs of Psychosis • • • • • • • • • • Behavioral Strange posturing Odd or bizarre behavior Excessive writing without meaning Cutting oneself; threats of self-mutilation Deterioration of personal hygiene Hyperactivity or inactivityStaring Agitation Sleep disturbances Drug or alcohol abuse (This may be a coping mechanism: self-medicating) • • • • • • • Thinking and Speech “Things seem changed in some way” Rapid speech that is difficult to interrupt Irrational statements Preoccupation with religion or occult Peculiar use of words or odd language Unusual sensitivity to stimuli (noise, light, colours, textures) Memory problems Severe distractibility • • Herz and Melville 1985 Social Sensitivity and irritability when touched by others Refusal to touch persons or objects; wearing gloves, etc. Severe deterioration of social relationships Dropping out of activities - or out of life in general Social withdrawal, isolation, and reclusive Unexpected aggression Suspiciousness Emotional Inappropriate laughter Inability to cry, or excessive crying Feelings of depression and anxiety Inability to express joy Euphoric mood Personality Reckless behaviours that are out of character Significantly prolonged drops in motivation or speech Shift in basic personality. Reinforcing adaptive autoprotective strategies Adaptive • Passive distraction (e.g. radio or TV) • Active distraction (reading, writing) • Change in environment (e.g. going for a walk) • Supportive contact (calling family, friends) • Exercise • Calling therapist Maladaptive • • • • • • Alcohol/ drugs Excessive sleep Smoking Social withdrawal Excessive praying Self-protective measures (e.g. sleeping with a weapon) Basic stress avoidance skills • Role restructuring (e.g. reduce class load, cut down on extracurricular activities • Conflict avoidance – Avoiding behaviors that evince negative reactions from others – Taking breaks • Positive assertions – Complements – Positive self statements Role play and Homework for all above goals Personal therapy: stages (contd) • Phase II (intermediate; 7- 18 months) – Continued psychoeducation (goal: selfawareness; recognition of prodromal signs of relapse – Acquisition of adaptive techniques: Relaxation training; guided imagery/ music; active distraction techniques; basic conflict resolution skills Hogarty et al 1995 Intermediate phase of PT: Goals • Maintenance and enhancement of clinical stability – – – – Managing comorbidity- depression, anxiety, substance abuse Minimizing side effects Achieving minimal effective dose Monitoring and addressing suicidality • Personalized crafting of psychoeducation – 20-30 minute interactive sessions on cues of distress, incremental conflict avoidance skills, concepts of disability and adjustment to it • Increasing resumption of responsibilities within home • Adjustment to disability Resumption of household responsibilities • Go with patient’s own choice • Simple, relevant, feasible, compatible with clinical state • Avoid unreasonable expectations • Consider cooperative sharing with another family member • Progressive increase in complexity • Consider timing (maximize at times of highest enegy) • Revisit stress- vulnerability model regularly Adjustment to disability • Exclusive strengths based approach may be counterproductive • Address denial, “Flight to normalcy” • Learning what to say and not say about one’s illness Other techniques • Deep breathing and simple relaxation • Visual imagery • Criticism management PT advanced phase (Interfaces and overlaps with Cognitive enhancement therapy 19- 36 months) • Psychoeducation with a greater emphasis placed on the refined assessment of genuine, individual prodromes. • Addressing social and cognitive deficits, “one step at a time” • Managing Criticism, an assessment of its validity, learning a repertoire of verbal and behavioral responses designed to lessen the other person's intensity and to enhance the patient's social perception and negotiation skills • Advanced internal coping strategies include progressive relaxation training, which is designed to reduce autonomic arousal. • Independent application of various PT strategies in differing social contexts, Conclusions • Schizophrenia is a developmental disorder of affect, behavior and cognition • Schizophrenia sequentially evolves with prodromal and psychotic phases Characterized by psychosis and affective dysregulation, followed by a transitional phase with recurrent relapses before finally a stable, chronic phase sets in, primarily with cognitive and negative symptoms • Treatment is best tailored to the aspects of illness prominently manifesting at the specific phases of the illness • Personal therapy is designed as a compehensive, step-wise approach to early phases of schizophrenia, involving psychoeducation, stress management and development of coping skills, setting a stage for rehabilitative approaches such as cognitive remediation •
