The Role of Emotion in Psychosis Onset and Symptom Persistence: A Systematic Review

These findings highlight the important role of emotion in psychosis onset and symptom persistence. Given the prominence of emotions in the manifestation and maintenance of psychosis, the development of emotion-focused interventions for psychosis is necessary to not only prevent transition and relapse but also to maintain recovery. To support clinical application, this review also provides Socratic questions and recommends practical therapeutic tools to assist clinicians in the assessment, formulation, and intervention of emotional dysregulation in psychosis.
