Will the person you love ever get better? Chances are you've
grappled with the question. With care and support from their
families, people with schizophrenia can and do make vast
improvements. Noted therapists Kim Mueser and Susan Gingerich
deepen your understanding of the illness and cover a wide range of
effective treatments. Based on decades of research and experience,
they offer pragmatic suggestions for dealing with depression,
psychosis, and other symptoms. They show you how to prioritize
needs, resolve everyday problems, and encourage your loved one to
set life goals. Plus, individual sections highlight special issues
for parents, children, siblings, and partners. Whether you're
facing schizophrenia for the first time or you've dealt with its
impact for years, you'll discover innovative ways to handle
challenges that arise over the course of treatment, from reducing
the chances of relapse to making friends and finding work. Recovery
isn't an endpoint--it's a lifelong journey. With love, hope, and
realistic optimism, striving for it can lead to a richer, more
rewarding life for your entire family. Winner, NAMI/Ken Book Award
Disasters can be an unpredictable source of complex mental health
issues. A mass casualty disaster occurs somewhere in the world on a
near daily basis, and victims can have symptoms that persist over
time. Cognitive behavior therapy for postdisaster distress (CBT-PD)
is a transdiagnostic approach to the treatment of a range of
distressing symptoms that might not meet criteria for a specific
disorder. Over 12-13 sessions, the CBT-PD program provides
psychoeducation about PTSD and the broad range of psychological
reactions to a disaster, and teaches core skills that empower
clients to take charge of their recovery: breathing retraining (to
reduce hyper-arousal and anxiety), activity scheduling of pleasant
and meaningful events (to reduce depression and avoidance of valued
roles), and cognitive restructuring (to reduce negative feelings
and change thoughts and beliefs that underlie persistent
postdisaster reactions). Refined over twenty years of clinical
practice, this research-based approach is associated with
significant reductions in PTSD and other distressing symptoms. This
practical guide includes therapist scripts and client vignettes,
and over two dozen and worksheets that mental health providers can
use with their clients.

Reviewing the breadth of current knowledge on schizophrenia, this
handbook provides clear, practical guidelines for effective
assessment and treatment in diverse contexts. Leading authorities
have contributed 61 concise chapters on all aspects of the disorder
and its clinical management. In lieu of exhaustive literature
reviews, each chapter summarizes the state of the science;
highlights key points the busy practitioner needs to know; and
lists recommended resources, including seminal research studies,
invaluable clinical tools, and more. Comprehensive, authoritative,
and timely, the volume will enable professionals in any setting to
better understand and help their patients or clients with severe
mental illness.
Incorporating the most up-to-date concepts and clinical tools, the
newly revised and expanded second edition of this popular manual is
even more user-friendly than its predecessor. Presented are an
empirically tested format and ready-made curricula for skills
training groups in a range of settings. Part I takes therapists and
counselors step by step through assessing clients' existing skills,
teaching new skills, and managing common treatment challenges. Part
II comprises over 60 ready-to-photocopy skill sheets (15 more than
the previous edition), each one a complete lesson plan in itself.
Other features of the second edition include an important new
chapter on working with dually diagnosed clients; an overview of
the empirical support for the approach; and additional assessment
forms. Of special value for practitioners, the new 8.5" x 11"
format makes it easier than ever to reproduce and use the practical
materials in the book.
