Abstract
There has been a recommendable achievement in clinical treatment of the collective
emotional disorder with an application of cognitive behavioral methods based on
therapy for psychosis. The client was first experiencing anxiety, through indirect and
direct results of psychosis signs. The client was put in 12 weeks under cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT) on a group. In psychosis problems, a same psychological
process is active in the experience of hallucination and delusions. For example,
persecutory delusions are perceived as the threat beliefs which are attempts by the
patients to make sense of her or his personal experience. Psychological interventions
are mostly applied when the doctors are preparing the paint to undergo surgical or
invasive procedures. They aim at helping one to cope with a procedure or reduce the
anxiety in people before surgery. The author concludes that CBT group in an individual
with the first stage of psychosis that focuses on management of anxiety can be effective
ways of eliminating associated depression, stress and anxiety levels. This model is
applicable for use in health centers for the community.
