Extensive scientific research has been conducted into
understanding and learning more about psychotic experiences.
However, in existing research the voice of subjective experience is
rarely taken into consideration. In this book, first-person
accounts are brought centre-stage and examined alongside current
research to suggest how personal experience can contribute to
professional understanding, and therefore the treatment, of
psychosis.
Experiencing Psychosis brings together a range of contributors
who have either experienced psychosis on a personal level or
conducted research into the topic. Chapters are presented in pairs
providing information from both personal and research perspectives
on specific aspects of psychosis including: hearing voices,
delusional beliefs, and trauma as well as cultural, existential and
spiritual issues. Experts from the field recognise that first and
foremost psychosis is a human experience and that those who suffer
from psychotic episodes must have some involvement in any genuine
attempts to make sense of the experience.
This book will be essential reading for all mental health
professionals involved with psychosis. The accessible style and
compelling personal histories will also attract service users and
their families.
