This aim of this literature review was to throw light on the perceptions of service users with psychosis with regard to their experiences of cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp). CBTp is recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence for service users with psychosis at every stage of their illness, but provision of this intervention is not widespread. This narrative literature review critically appraised six primary studies, all of which view CBTp through the eyes of service users, revealing their perceptions of CBTp experiences and of their therapists. The thematic analysis revealed much positivity among service users towards CBTp, their perceptions often contrasting with those of their therapists. It also emerged that therapist characteristics may have a significant impact on the efficacy of CBTp. Implications for the greater involvement of mental health nurses in the delivery of CBTp are considered, and recommendations made for how this might be achieved in order to extend the access of service-users with psychosis to this effective intervention.
