The study was designed as a prospective, longitudinal, comparative, multi-centre investigation. The included patients were offered either: 1) manualised Supportive Psychodynamic Psychotherapy as a supplement to treatment as usual (named the SPP), or 2) TaU for two years (called the TaU). All centres involved in the study had all shown a previous interest in investigating the methods of supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy, even though not all of them had sufficient resources to offer individual psychotherapy in a systematic way which would be needed for carrying out a randomised controlled study. Thus, a controlled design was chosen in which the centres in both groups included rural and urban sites, university and non-university clinics, as well as large and small departments. A total of 269 consecutively referred patients with first-episode psychosis of the F2- type according to the ICD-10 were included over two years (October 1997 to September 1999). Fourteen psychiatric centres participated. The SPP group consisted of 119 patients consecutively admitted to eight centres, and the TaU group consisted of 150 patients consecutively admitted to nine centres (see Figure 1).
