attention to measuring psychological processes hypothesized
to mediate
outcomes.
This would
include,
eg, measuring
beliefs about
voice
power
and intent, acceptance
of
voices, and the capacity to decenter from voices. Novel
instrumental variable methods, which have been developed
specifically
for
the purpose of
analyzing data from
psychotherapy trials, can be used to show whether mediators
of
interest
are
causal
in
bringing
about
a
therapeutic
outcome.
