Psychological Interventions in Early Psychosis: A Treatment Handbook

Psychological Interventions in Early Psychosis provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging research and clinical evidence base for psychological treatments across the phases of early psychosis. Beginning with identified at-risk young people, the text continues through to those in acute and recovery phases, to the needs of patients with persistent symptoms.

This practical treatment handbook:

• draws upon the expertise of several internationally recognised clinical and research programs
• integrates reviews of the relevant research literature with illustrative case examples
• covers critical issues for the clinician in focal chapters on suicide prevention, comorbid cannabis abuse, and family work
• describes several modalities of treatment, such as multi-family psychoeducation, group work, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches.
