Abstract

Service user satisfaction with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for psychosis was examined with the Satisfaction with Therapy Questionnaire (STQ; Beck, Wright, Newman and Liese, 1993). Sixty-five service-users completed the STQ at the end of therapy, and 40 3-month post therapy. Overall, the majority of service-users were satisfied with therapy. Satisfaction was unaffected by service-user demographics or service issues, and remained stable over the 3-month follow-up. Belief in the extent to which CBT skills/knowledge had been gained predicted overall satisfaction at the end of therapy, while there was a near-significant effect for belief about the usefulness of homework(s) to predict overall satisfaction at 3-month follow-up. These results suggest that (i) CBT for psychosis is an acceptable intervention to service-users, regardless of their demographic characteristics or service issues; (ii) the specific aspects of CBT, not the non-specific attributes of therapy, predict overall satisfaction; (iii) homework setting may be important in ensuring ongoing satisfaction post-therapy.
