Improving Emotional Regulation in Psychosis
摘要
This chapter outlines a structured emotion regulation module adapted for individuals with psychosis. It begins by defining therapeutic goals and reviewing validated assessment instruments such as the SEK-27, ERQ, DERS, CERQ, SRES, and BERI to establish baseline regulatory capacity. The chapter then introduces DBT-based skills tailored for psychosis, including identifying and labeling emotions, recognizing emotional vulnerabilities, validating emotional experience, applying targeted regulation strategies, and building distress-tolerance skills. These components are presented as a cohesive framework to strengthen emotional stability, reduce symptom reactivity, and improve overall functioning.
