Biography: Professor Chadwick is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry,
King’s College London. He has been at the forefront of the development of psychological
therapy for psychosis for over 25 years, and has pioneered the integration of mindfulness with
cognitive therapy for psychosis.
Background: Person-Based Cognitive Therapy (PBCT) is an approach to distressing psychosis
that seeks to integrate cognitive therapy with mindfulness principles and practice. The
workshop will describe how mindfulness and cognitive therapy are formulated within PBCT, and
explore how mindfulness principles inform the therapeutic relationship. Using an experiential
exercise and client DVD, we will examine how to adapt mindfulness practice for people with
distressing psychosis and explore how mindfulness practice needs to support new learning, or
insight.
