Abstract
Abstract: It is well-recognized that treatments for persecutory delusions need significant improvement. A programme of research will be described that has built a new translational psychological treatment - The Feeling Safe Programme - that aims to produce much high rates of recovery in persistent persecutory delusions. Epidemiological, experimental, and clinical trial studies will be presented. Further, the potential for automated delivery of psychological intervention using immersive virtual reality will be outlined.
