Abstract

This study reports the applicability of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in reducing suicidal risk in a Schizophrenic patient afflicted with auditory hallucination.   The reported case study was a Schizophrenic patient admitted for inpatients care at Khon Kaen Rajanagarindra Psychiatric Hospitals.  The participant  received four individual psychotherapy sessions in which each session takes 45-60 minutes.  Three instruments, The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), the Belief About  Voices Questionnaire (BAVQ), and Characteristics and Severity of Auditory Hallucination Scale (CSAH) were used for baseline assessment as well as for outcome evaluation at immediately after the program. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and treatment progress analysis.
