What this Trial Is About
This pilot feasibility trial aims to evaluate the "Goals in Focus" intervention for motivational negative symptoms in people with psychosis. Goals in Focus interventions translate findings of basic clinical research on psychological mechanisms of motivational negative symptoms into a tailored and comprehensive novel psychological treatment program. The current single-blind randomized-controlled study aims to test feasibility and to examine first estimates of the expected effect size of Goals in Focus to inform a subsequent fully-powered RCT. The feasibility data will be used to improve on the trial design and the provision of the "Goals in Focus" intervention where necessary.
