Background and Aims:

Early intervention in psychosis is considered important in relaps prevention. Limited results of monotherapies prompt to development of multimodular programmes. Presentation concerns Hallucination focused Integrative Treatment (HIT)integrates specific motivational strategies and family treatment with cognitive behavioural treatment, coping training, medication, targeted psychoeducation, crisisintervention and rehabilitation interventions. In patients with chronic schizophrenia effectiveness of HIT appeared significantly greater on subjective burden, control of voices as measured with the AHRS + occurrence of hallucinations, anxiety and depression, global psychopathology as measured with the PANSS, quality of life (WHOqol) and social funcioning (GSDS)compared to treatment as usual. Effects remained significantly better during followup (18 months).

Method:

Presentation of HIT modules + pilot data of 14 consecutively refferred adolescents with AVH.

Results:

Good compliance and high satisfaction in most adolescents. 65% free of AVH, substantial improvements on mastery, anxiety, interference with thinking and social functioning.

Conclusion:

HIT is feasible in community psychiatry, appears to be an acceptable and effective early intervention in adolescents with AVH.
