Article Synopsis
- Individuals with psychotic disorders are at higher risk of victimization, prompting the development of a new therapy called BEATVIC to prevent such incidents, which was tested in a randomized controlled trial with 105 participants.
- The trial compared the BEATVIC intervention with befriending sessions, aiming to measure short-term effects on victimization risk factors and overall well-being, finding that 60% of participants in both groups experienced reduced victimization after six months.
- Despite the initial success in reducing victimization, BEATVIC did not show greater effectiveness compared to befriending, and no additional positive changes in risk factors were observed, indicating the need for further long-term analysis.
