Participants were adults (aged between 18 and 65 years) with schizophrenia spectrum or delusional disorder and an active, persistent (\u22653 months) persecutory delusion with strong conviction (&amp;amp;gt;50%). Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to either cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp)\u2013based intervention or befriending therapy. Intention-to-treat analysis was performed from June 1 to October 31, 2024.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Intervention<\/jats:title><jats:p>The CBTp was a manualized intervention targeting persecutory delusions. The befriending therapy involved engaging in conversations and activities focused on neutral topics. Both interventions were provided in person, lasted for 8 weeks, and included standard care. Standard care consisted of medication management and ancillary services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title><jats:p>Primary outcomes were volatility priors (ie, prior expectations of volatility) derived from a 3-option probabilistic reversal learning task; persecutory delusion severity measured by the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS delusion subscale; score range: 0-16, with the highest score indicating severe preoccupation, distress, conviction, and functioning impact); and brain activation in the striatum and prefrontal cortex measured by blood oxygenation level\u2013dependent signal change. Associations between volatility priors, clinical improvement, and change in neural activation were examined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixty-two participants (median [range] age, 31 [19-63] years; 38 males [61%]) were randomly assigned to the CBTp (n\u2009=\u200932) or befriending therapy (n\u2009=\u200930) arms.

Activation in the caudate and prefrontal cortex significantly decreased following treatment.
