iMAgery focused therapy for Psychosis (iMAPS-2), funded by the National Institute for Health Research - Research for Patient Benefit Programme, is a feasibility randomised controlled trial, led by Dr Christopher Taylor, Chief Investigator, Senior Co-Applicant Prof Katherine Berry and a highly experienced co-applicant team.
