    Exploring a dialogic approach in tackling psychotic diseases: A systematic review
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Fernández Villardón, Aitana; García Carrión, Rocío; Racionero Plaza, Sandra
    Psychosis is a severe mental disorder traditionally treated from a purely biological approach, which often has led to a dehumanisation in psychiatric hospitals. To counteract this trend and aiming at tackling the disease with a more human approach, psychosocial interventions have in-creased. In this vein, interventions based on a dialogic approach, with spe-cific features such as egalitarian dialogue, foster psychological and social transformations in different contexts. This review aims to analyse the clini-cal and social effects of psychological interventions based on these princi-ples when treating patients with psychosis. A systematic review has been carried out, following PRISMA recommendations, in the Web of Science, Scopus and PsycInfo databases. After applying the inclusion criteria, thir-teen empirical studies were selected and analysed, including a quality as-sessment. These studies show that when introducing a dialogic approach in treating psychosis, positive clinical and relational outcomes are obtained. Likewise, patients value positively these collaborative environments, where they feel listened and understood. Whereas dialogism emerges as a tool with potential benefits to tackle psychosis, more studies are needed to clearer determine the influence of specific dialogic features on improving psychotic patients’ mental health.
