U of T Research Project on CBT & Cognitive Therapy for Psychosis

Home on the Hill for a collaboration is based upon the audience response to Dr. Chris Bowie’s presentation on cognitive remediation last year at our Robert Veltheer Lecture Series. Dr. Best is a collaborator of Dr. Bowie who had mentioned that he had received a number of questions from audience members about how to access CBT for psychosis and cognitive remediation interventions.
For these studies, therapists will be delivering CBT for psychosis and cognitive remediation through virtual care platforms, so all treatment will be remote and accessible wherever the participant lives. If participants do not have access to technology for virtual care then we can also loan them the technology for the duration of the study. We also have a separate consent form so that if participants consent to us communicating with their treatment team then we can coordinate care between our therapist and the rest of the team. For the research study all aspects of the assessments can be done remotely.
