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.
