In this way, a 4-component neuropsychiatric model is tentatively constructed: (1) a biological component that leads to aberrant perceptions and salience of stimuli, (2) a cognitive component that attempts to explain the psychic abnormal events, (3) a mediating component with psychological biases which influences the reasoning process in the direction of the formation of (secondary) delusions, and (4) a component of psychological processes that maintains delusions and prevents the falsification of delusional ideas. The focus in this review is on one hand on neural circuits that are involved in cognitive models and on the other hand on cognitive processes and experiences involved in biological models. The article reviews the dominant models in literature. The aim of the model is to understand better, how pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavior therapy come forward as partners in the treatment of psychosis and play complementary and mutually reinforcing roles.

#ARE ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESSES BIOLOGICAL FULL#
We expect that a full remission including biological and psychological remission could prevent relapse. Both forms of remission are partially independent. Psychological remission consists of the reappraisal of primary psychotic experiences. Biological remission consists of the dampening of mesolimbic dopamine releases with antipsychotic medication and decreases the continuous salient experiences. Remission consists actually of 2 processes. © The Author 2006.Ībstract = "This selective review combines cognitive models and biological models of psychosis into a tentative integrated neuropsychiatric model.
