Core Tip

Core Tip: Mindfulness-based interventions when combined with integrated rehabilitation treatment significantly reduced emotional and social withdrawal in people with psychosis. These specific negative symptoms were not improved by integrated rehabilitation alone. This effect may be attributed to the role of mindfulness in fostering acceptance of psychotic experiences, enhancing emotional engagement, and promoting social interaction. The study highlights the potential for mindfulness as a valuable adjunct to rehabilitation treatment.
