Course Leader: Clara Humpston

This face to face one day short course focused on Advances in the psychopathology of schizophrenia and related psychoses. 

The course enabled participants to:

  1. To view schizophrenia and related psychoses in the context of profound transformations of subjectivity and selfhood, usually beyond presentations of psychotic symptoms.
  2. To understand and appraise evidence for delusions in schizophrenia that are not fully conceptualised as fixed, false beliefs, taking into account the experiential dimension and altered senses of self and reality.
  3. To reconsider definitions of hallucinations in schizophrenia and be familiar with the non-sensory features of hallucinations that may impact their assessment and treatment, especially in the context of first-episode psychosis.
  4. To understand and appraise insight in psychosis and its clinical relevance, and to reflect on the extent to which insight is based on brain function.
  5. To understand and appraise the roles emotion and affect play in psychosis psychopathology, and how the predictive processing framework may be useful in explaining and integrating neuroscientific and phenomenological accounts.
