Measures comprised a clinical record form and the PANSS interview scored according to the five-factor model of Wallwork. Raters were blinded to treatment allocation.ResultsBoth groups reduced their scores in the Depression factor (IRT+MBI: F = 5.29, p = .026, Ƞ2 = .096, IRT: F = 4.51, p = .039, Ƞ2 = .083), IRT+MBI also reduced their scores in the Negative (F = 32.21, p
