For professionals working with people who experience severe
psychosis, increasing empirical evidence for the benefits of
psychotherapy for psychosis has been especially welcome. Given the
limitations of medication-only approaches and the need for an
expanded perspective, including for those diagnosed with
schizophrenia, Surviving, Existing, or Living takes a fresh look at
severe psychosis, offering a heuristic model for understanding
psychosis along a continuum of severity, from the extreme
experience of acutely impairing psychosis to a more enriched life
experience. Pamela Fuller emphasizes that facilitating recovery
from psychosis requires appropriately and effectively matching the
type and timing of interventions to client readiness and
capabilities. The need to consider each individual according to
which of three primary issues/phases preoccupy the person with
psychosis is essential for tailoring treatment. She identifies
these phases as: Surviving Phase - preoccupation with survival
Existing Phase - preoccupation with restriction of life experiences
in order to cope Living Phase - preoccupation with quality of life
and relationships Surviving, Existing, or Living examines the
rationale for these three phases, and provides details of
phase-specific treatment interventions as well as a 'how to' guide
for facilitating engagement and for determining 'what to do when,'
including with those experiencing acute, severe psychosis. Rich
clinical case examples are provided to highlight concepts and the
types of interventions. Trauma-specific and group interventions for
psychosis are also described, as well as ways to foster resilience
in the professional who works with individuals with psychosis.
Surviving, Existing, or Living offers a detailed guide to help
individuals experiencing psychosis move from suffering to recovery,
beyond surviving or existing toward more fully living. The book
will be essential reading for professionals in the fields of
psychology, psychiatry, counseling, medicine, social work, nursing,
occupational, recreational, and vocational therapies,
experience-based experts, and students.
