​

The first step is to determine whether or not the experiences you have match up with the eligibility criteria for the trial. This will involve a phone call with a researcher who will ask you some questions. 

​

These include:

​

• Being aged over 18 years

​

• Having a diagnosis of a schizophrenia spectrum disorder or a mood disorder with psychotic symptoms

​

• Currently experiencing hearing voices (auditory verbal hallucinations) with significant negative content (i.e. critical, abusive or threatening) and/or that cause distress

​

• Currently on treatment with antipsychotic medication OR have tried at least two different antipsychotics in the past and these have been discontinued due to insufficient treatment response (i.e. did not help with voices) and/or poor tolerability (i.e. side effects)

​

• Having access to the internet and a computer/other device on which videoconferencing software can be used
