【 摘 要 】

In their meta-analysis, Mehl et al. (2015) examine whether CBT for psychosis is an effective intervention for reducing delusions. The authors reported a small but significant effect size for CBT in comparison to TAU at end-of-therapy (k = 13; d = 0.27) and at follow-up (k = 12; d = 0.25). By contrast, no significant benefit emerged for CBT when compared to active control conditions either at end-of-therapy (k = 8; d = 0.16) or at follow-up (k = 5; d = −0.04). The meta-analysis, however, contains errors and omissions that when rectified, cast doubt on the reliability of the reported significant effects comparing CBT to Treatment as Usual (TAU) at end-of treatment and at follow-up.
