Louise Canacott – a DClinPsy trainee- and Dr Nima Moghaddam have had a new article published:

Canacott, L., Moghaddam, N., & Tickle, A. (2019). Is the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) efficacious for improving personal and clinical recovery outcomes? A systematic review and meta-analysis. Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal. Advance online publication. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/prj0000368

The meta-analyses revealed that, relative to control conditions, WRAP was: (a) superior for promoting self-perceived recovery outcomes (demonstrating a small-but-significant pooled effect), but (b) not superior for reducing clinical symptomatology. However, restriction to randomized-controlled trials revealed one small effect favoring WRAP for reducing depression.
