This chapter offers a structured intervention for impulsivity in psychosis, aiming to reduce high-risk behaviors and improve self-control. It begins with assessment using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Lifetime History of Impulsive Behaviors, UPPS-P, and the Impulsive Compulsive Behaviors Checklist. The treatment module comprises two main strands: mindfulness-based approaches (mindful breathing, body scan, urge surfing) and attention-training methods, including attention bias modification, cognitive control training, attentional flexibility training, and mindfulness-based attention training. These techniques are presented as practical tools for increasing awareness of impulses, lengthening the pause before action, and supporting safer, more deliberate behavior in people with psychosis.

摘要

This chapter offers a structured intervention for impulsivity in psychosis, aiming to reduce high-risk behaviors and improve self-control. It begins with assessment using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Lifetime History of Impulsive Behaviors, UPPS-P, and the Impulsive Compulsive Behaviors Checklist. The treatment module comprises two main strands: mindfulness-based approaches (mindful breathing, body scan, urge surfing) and attention-training methods, including attention bias modification, cognitive control training, attentional flexibility training, and mindfulness-based attention training. These techniques are presented as practical tools for increasing awareness of impulses, lengthening the pause before action, and supporting safer, more deliberate behavior in people with psychosis.
