Dominic is a 24-year-old who has recently been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He suffers from persistent auditory hallucinations (hearing voices telling him he is worthless) and holds a strong delusion that his neighbours are plotting to harm him. Dominic’s parents, who live with him, are highly anxious, constantly criticise him for not seeking employment, and frequently argue about his behaviour, leading to a highly stressful home environment.
Discuss how both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and family therapy could be used to help Dominic. Refer to the scenario in your answer.
