Abstract summary 

Cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is an approved adjunct therapy for patients with psychotic disorders; however, we do not fully understand the neurobiological effects that this therapy may exert. Arousal, as measured by electroencephalography (EEG), provides a useful electrophysiological marker for assessing psychotic disorders. EEG studies may therefore serve as a useful measure for assessing the underlying effects of CBTp in psychotic disorders.
