The Recovery of the Self in Psychosis details specific therapeutic
approaches as well as considers how treatments can be individually
tailored and adapted to help persons whose mental health challenges
may be either mild or more severe. By focusing on basic elements of
the experiences of persons diagnosed with psychosis and exploring
the broader meanings these experiences have, each of these
treatments offers distinctive ways to help persons define and
manage their own recovery. The book includes measurable therapeutic
processes, an empirically supported conceptual basis for
understanding disturbances in self-experience and rich descriptions
of the recovery process. The Recovery of the Self in Psychosis
moves beyond approaches which dictate what health is to persons
with psychosis through education. It will be essential reading for
all clinical psychologists and psychotherapists working with people
diagnosed with psychosis.
Many adults who experience severe mental illness also suffer from
deficits in metacognition - put simply, thinking about one's own
thought processes - limiting their abilities to recognize, express
and manage naturally occurring painful emotions and routine social
problems as well as to fathom the intentions of others. This book
presents an overview of the field, showing how current research can
inform clinical practice. An international range of expert
contributors provide chapters which look at the role of
metacognitive deficit in personality disorders, schizophrenia, and
mood disorders, and the implications for future psychotherapeutic
treatment. Divided into three parts, areas covered include: how
metacognitive deficits may arise and the different forms they might
take the psychopathology of metacognition in different forms of
mental illness whether specific deficits in metacognition might
help us understand the difficulties seen in differing forms of
severe mental illness. Offering varying perspectives and including
a wealth of clinical material, this book will be of great interest
to all mental health professionals, researchers and practitioners.
Recovery, Meaning-Making, and Severe Mental Illness offers
practitioners an integrative treatment model that will stimulate
and harness their creativity, allowing for the formation of new
ideas about wellness in the face of profound suffering. The model,
Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy (MERIT), complements
current treatment modalities and can be used by practitioners from
a broad range of theoretical backgrounds. By using metacognitive
capacity as a guide to intervention, MERIT stretches and
strengthens practitioners' capacity for reflection and allows them
to better use their unique knowledge to help people who are
confronting the suffering and chaos that often comes from
psychosis. Clinicians will come away from this book with a variety
of tools for helping clients manage their own recovery and confront
the issues that accompany an illness-based identity.
