Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA randomized controlled trial tested whether mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) reduces auditory hallucinations in people with schizophrenia. Patients who received MBCT in addition to treatment as usual showed greater reductions in the frequency and severity of auditory hallucinations compared with those receiving treatment as usual alone. The findings suggest MBCT may be a useful adjunctive intervention for managing this symptom.
