Description
In spite of improved access to psychosocial interventions, many people with psychosis continue to experience persistent problems which act as significant barriers to their recovery. This book investigates risk and problem behaviours in psychosis, including staff and service factors that can impede the delivery of effective care.
Problematic and Risk Behaviours in Psychosis provides a new approach for assessment, formulation and intervention within such problem behaviours in a team context. Of particular interest will be:
an outline of the SAFE (Shared Assessment, Formulation and Education) approach
an integrative model for understanding risk and problematic behaviour
shared risk assessment and management processes
approaches to reducing team and carer barriers to effective care
the use of CBT in day-to-day interactions with clients
a set of formulation-driven strategies for managing problematic behaviours
case studies and vignettes providing guidance and highlighting the benefits of the approach.
This book will have particular appeal to professionals working in specialist community, hospital-based and residential services who often struggle to help those with the most complex mental health problems who are hardest to reach. It is also an excellent resource for those engaged in training in psychological therapies, risk assessment and management.

Reviews / Votes
"This book successfully illustrates how recent developments in cognitive therapy for psychosis, risk management and behavioural approaches can be integrated into a whole team treatment framework in services for people with complex and challenging mental health and behavioural needs. An excellent clinical resource for all professionals working with this client group." - Suzanne Jolley, Clinical Psychologist, King's College London, UK"As a student with little clinical experience, I found the authors' approach engaging. They provide clear and concise definitions of every assessment and the use of therapy in the clinical field, which I found very helpful. They also provide an integrative approach, clearly showing the differences of assessments used in practice. The interesting thing is the use of illustrative examples: case studies which make the approach come to life...I found this book exceptional" - Heather Brobbey, Journal of Mental Health, August 2011
"The Shared Assessment, Formulation, and Education (SAFE) approach presented by Meaden and Hacker offers a system for providing comprehensive, cognitive-behavioral treatment for RPBs at all levels of the health care environment. Rather than present a brand new treatment, their book presents a much-needed system for implementing exisitng cogntive-behavioral interventions in settings that provide treatment to people with psychotic disorders." - Patrick L. Kerr, PsyCritiques, Volume 57, Issue 7, February 2012 "This book successfully illustrates how recent developments in cognitive therapy for psychosis, risk management and behavioural approaches can be integrated into a whole team treatment framework in services for people with complex and challenging mental health and behavioural needs.
