Changing Outcomes in Psychosis: Collaborative Cases from Practitioners, Users and Carers

This book presents a series of cases of psychosocial interventions with schizophrenia and other serious mental health difficulties. Co-authored by a range of professionals in different roles, as well as carers and service users, this work captures the benefits of a true alliance between the service user and their clinical worker. It details the skills and knowledge needed for interventions in a range of settings, including outreach work and family work, treatment on acute wards, as well as organisational change. Introductions and conclusions to each case examine the implications for practice and policy.
