Funded Activity Summary

Cognitive neuropsychiatry: understanding delusional belief and delusional hallucination from a cognitive neuropsychological perspective. Cognitive neuropsychiatry aims to explain psychiatric symptoms in terms of abnormalities in the functioning of the human mind. This project applies a two-factor model of this type to better understand delusion and hallucination. In this model, a distinction is drawn between factors which explain the initial generation of an abnormal thought and factors which explain the uncritical acceptance, rather than rejection, of the abnormal thought. The generality of this model will be evaluated by investigating delusions in a range of clinical contexts. Findings may contribute to the design of more effective cognitive-behaviour therapies for treating psychosis in different clinical conditions.
