Early Psychosis Treatment: A New Era of Hope

The treatment of early psychosis has been hindered by a long-standing pessimism, rooted in the asylum era and the Kraepelinian model of schizophrenia. However, recent research has shown that early intervention can be highly effective in treating psychotic illnesses.

A Framework for Intervention

Based on the pioneering work of a leading prevention and intervention centre, this book provides a comprehensive framework for early psychosis treatment. With contributions from international authorities, it reviews the evidence guiding clinical practice and describes various treatment models.

Personal Narratives and Case Histories

Incorporating personal stories and case histories, this text offers a unique blend of theory and practical advice. It challenges clinicians to rethink their approach to early psychosis treatment, while providing sensitive guidance on real-world issues.
