Reducing Distress from Auditory Verbal Hallucinations: A Multicenter, Parallel, Single-Blind, Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial of Relating Therapy

There is a significant demand for interventions that reduce distress related to auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs). AVH distress is associated with the way voice hearers relate with AVHs. We aimed to establish the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to demonstrate that adding "Relating Therapy" (RT) to treatment as usual (TAU) is superior to TAU in reducing AVH distress.
