A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted to examine the effectiveness of adherence-coping-education (ACE) therapy. Twenty-four individuals with early psychosis were randomized to receive 14 sessions of either ACE therapy in addition to treatment as usual, or supportive therapy in addition to treatment as usual. Participants were assessed at baseline, midtreatment, and posttreatment on measures of medication attitudes, psychotic and depressive symptoms, and social functioning. ACE therapy was well tolerated and was associated with significant decrease in symptoms, as well as trend-level improvements in attitudes toward treatment. These results lend initial support for the feasibility of ACE Therapy, and suggest that it may have promise in facilitating recovery for individuals recovering from an initial psychotic episode.
