Description
Despite years of research, debate and changes in mental health policy, there is still a lack of consensus as to what recovery from psychosis actually means, how it should be measured and how it may ultimately be achieved. In Recovering from a First Episode of Psychosis: An Integrated Approach to Early Intervention, it is argued that recovery from a first episode of psychosis (FEP) is comprised of three core elements: symptomatic, social and personal. Moreover, all three types of recovery need to be the target of early intervention for psychosis programmes (EIP) which provide evidence-based, integrated, bio-psychosocial interventions delivered in the context of a value base offering hope, empowerment and a youth-focused approach.
Over the 12 chapters in the book, the authors, all experienced clinicians and researchers from multi-professional backgrounds, demonstrate that long-term recovery needs to replace short term remission as the key target of early psychosis services and that, to achieve this, we need a change in the way we deliver EIP: one that takes account of the different stages of psychosis and the 'bespoke' targeting of integrated medical, psychological and social treatments during the 'critical period'.
Illustrated with a wealth of clinical examples, this book will be of great interest to clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses and other associated mental health professionals.

Reviews / Votes
"This extraordinary state-of-the-art book distils the accumulated clinical and practical experience from the UK's pioneers of Early Intervention in Psychosis in Birmingham.It is replete with varied and incisive case material covering all aspects of recovery; and does so combining science and evidence with compassion and amazing skill. This is a must-read for all practitioners working with psychosis."
Max Birchwood, Professor of Youth Mental Health, University of Warwick
"This book reminds readers of the central purpose of early intervention services... to secure meaning to the lives of people experiencing psychosis for the first time.
Concepts of recovery are explored in a well-constructed manual that successfully blends evidence-based practice with practice-based evidence, informed by the experience of this book's authors in delivering these services over the last two decades."
Dr. David Shiers, OBE, Retired GP and former joint national lead for EIP
"This excellent new book provides up-to-date evidence of how Early Intervention services have revolutionised the treatment of psychosis by providing a framework for the delivery of evidence-based interventions, embedded within a philosophy of hope and recovery. Moreover, this book challenges us to adjust our focus from early intervention to full, sustained, long-term recovery. It provides a compelling vision of an integrated system which engages effectively and enables rapid access to individualised treatment, without the need for compulsion. A vision worth pursuing."
