Mindfulness practice groups are an acceptable therapeutic intervention for patients in psychiatric rehabilitation, most of whom have treatment-resistant psychosis. Around two-thirds of in-patients attended at least one group, and about a third attended regularly. No measurable impact on well-being was detected using the Warwick-Edinburgh well-being scale. Qualitative interviews indicated benefits for individuals and potential to improve the therapeutic culture on wards. The findings suggest that further research into the effectiveness of mindfulness for treatment-resistant psychosis is warranted.
