Conditions
Summary
Evidence reports that parents with schizophrenia are particularly vulnerable to parenting difficulties and also experience problems in sensitively interacting with their children. This may cause insecure attachment in infants of mothers with psychosis. Children of parents with schizophrenia have poor developmental and clinical outcomes. However, there is no published trial, to the best of our knowledge, for children of parents with schizophrenia. Learning through Play (LTP) is a potentially low cost intervention to improve maternal mental health and child outcomes by promoting health child development. The proposed study will integrate LTP with existing culturally appropriate Cognitive Behaviour Theray (CBT) for psychosis (CaCBT-p) and test its feasibility and acceptability for parents with schizophrenia.
