Exercise, a healthy diet, stress management, sound sleep: Most
practitioners would agree that living well can mitigate the impact
of mental disorders. Yet many are unprepared to address lifestyle
factors in their care of patients. Lifestyle Psychiatry seeks to
instill confidence by collating and analyzing the impressive
emerging body of evidence that supports the efficacy of healthy
lifestyle practices-both as the primary intervention and in
conjunction with traditional treatments such as psychopharmacology
or psychotherapy-in preventing and managing psychiatric disorders.
This volume examines the impact of lifestyle interventions-from
exercise, yoga, and tai chi to mindfulness and meditation, diet and
nutrition, and sleep management-on psychiatric disorders, including
depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia,
and addiction. Readers can readily find data to support the use of
specific lifestyle interventions for a patient presenting with a
specific disorder. Detailed descriptions of the mechanisms of each
lifestyle intervention also prepare practitioners to educate their
patients on the specific neurobiological and psychological effects
of these interventions to support their recovery. With chapters
that focus on developing a robust therapeutic alliance and
inspiring patients to assume responsibility for their own
well-being, this guide provides a framework for lasting,
sustainable lifestyle changes. Additionally, the book discusses the
impact of the provider's lifestyle on clinical behavior and the
implications of lifestyle medicine and psychiatry for health care
systems and population health, offering a broader examination of
the important role this new field can play in leading a
sophisticated, holistic approach to optimizing wellness.
A growing body of both research and clinical experience confirms
that intervening early in the progression of psychotic symptoms may
delay or even prevent the movement toward more serious psychiatric
illness. Young people at clinical high risk of developing
psychosis, or those with a recent onset of psychosis, can benefit
from a range of tailored interventions each emphasizing recovery
and return to functioning. Achieving recovery and remission for
people experiencing psychosis requires a multifaceted, team-based
response, and it is precisely this sort of a holistic approach
Intervening Early in Psychosis: A Team Approach provides. With
expert guidance on tailoring care to the needs of young people
experiencing a first-episode psychosis, this book—the first of
its kind to focus on the U.S. health care environment—begins with
an overview of the history of early psychosis services in the
United States and the development of coordinated specialty care
(CSC) services. Clinical case examples then illustrate the
application of a range of evidence-based interventions, from the
psychological and psychosocial—including cognitive-behavioral
therapy for psychosis and supported employment and education—to
peer, family, lifestyle, and technological interventions. All of
these interventions are examined in individual detail, but it is
the effectiveness of the interplay between them that the authors of
Intervening Early in Psychosis emphasize. The collaboration of
multidisciplinary stakeholders, including licensed therapists,
medical providers, employment and education specialists, and peer
specialists, is central to the success of the multimodal care model
outlined in the guide and is examined at length. This
interdisciplinary approach is underpinned by recovery-oriented
language that focuses on healing and recovery rather than
disability and illness management. The book also provides an
individual and family perspective on the lived experience of
psychosis that underscores the importance of engaging clients and
their support network in a philosophy of shared decision making.
With additional chapters that discuss advocacy issues and policy
considerations when establishing CSC services and the importance of
reducing the duration of untreated psychosis to optimize clinical
and functional outcomes, this is the most comprehensive resource
for clinicians, case workers, peer and vocational specialists,
family members, and anyone else interested in expanding their
knowledge of the early identification and treatment of individuals
with psychotic disorders.
