People with SMI and a diagnosis of schizophrenia and related disorders<br />
CBT + ST vs. ST does not reduce the rates of relapses or readmissions <strong>in</strong> the medium 38 or<br />
long term 32 .<br />
An improvement <strong>in</strong> the global state of people with SMI and a diagnosis of schizophrenia<br />
and related disorders is observed when they receive CBT <strong>in</strong> the short 32 and medium term 39<br />
However, this effect is no longer significant <strong>in</strong> the long term 32 .<br />
The application of CBT together with standard treatment is more effective <strong>in</strong> the improvement<br />
of the cl<strong>in</strong>ical state than when only standard treatment is applied. However, this<br />
difference was no longer significant after one year’s treatment 32 .<br />
There are no differences between CBT + ST vs. ST <strong>in</strong> general symptoms <strong>in</strong> short 32 medium<br />
term 40 . However, there is an improvement after 18 months <strong>in</strong> favour of the CBT<br />
group 40 .<br />
In the case of halluc<strong>in</strong>ations, CBT + ST vs. ST favours specific symptoms <strong>in</strong> the long<br />
term 34 .<br />
No effect was observed between CBT + ST vs. ST respect to the conviction of delusional<br />
beliefs 34 .<br />
There is a positive effect <strong>in</strong> favour of CBT + ST vs. ST <strong>in</strong> connection with positive and<br />
negative symptoms and global symptoms 32 .<br />
No significant differences have been found between CBT + ST vs. ST with respect to the<br />
improvement of quality of life 33 .<br />
There are no differences between CBT + ST vs. ST <strong>in</strong> the social function<strong>in</strong>g of people<br />
who suffer SMI and a diagnosis of schizophrenia and related disorders with respect to isolation,<br />
<strong>in</strong>terpersonal behaviour, <strong>in</strong>dependence <strong>in</strong> per<strong>for</strong>mance and competence. However,<br />
there is a positive effect <strong>in</strong> favour of CBT <strong>for</strong> prosocial behaviours 41 .<br />
No differences have been observed between CBT + ST vs. Supportive psychotherapy +<br />
ST with respect to medium 42 or long 32 term relapse ratios.<br />
There are no differences between CBT + ST vs. Supportive psychotherapy + ST respect<br />
to cl<strong>in</strong>ical improvements <strong>in</strong> medium 38 or long term 32 . However, with respect to general<br />
symptoms, there are no significant differences <strong>in</strong> favour of CBT <strong>in</strong> the short term 35 , but<br />
there are <strong>in</strong> the medium term 37 .<br />
There are no differences between CBT + ST vs. supportive psychotherapy + ST <strong>in</strong> connection<br />
with the improvement of negative and positive symptoms <strong>in</strong> the short 64 or long 42<br />
term.<br />
When CBT is compared with other psychological <strong>in</strong>terventions, no improvement is observed<br />
<strong>in</strong> the specific symptoms with respect to delirium, but there is with respect to halluc<strong>in</strong>ations<br />
42 .<br />

There is not sufficient evidence to <strong>in</strong>dicate that CBT when compared with ST reduces<br />
relapses dur<strong>in</strong>g treatment, or 12 months or 2 years after f<strong>in</strong>ish<strong>in</strong>g treatment.<br />
1+ CBT programmes last<strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong> more than 3 months reduce relapses 8 .<br />
1- CBT, when compared with ST, reduces the symptoms at the end of the treatment 8 .<br />
1+ BT, when compared with ST, improves the mental state at the end of the treatment 8 .<br />
