The Recognition and Management of Early Psychosis

The Recognition and Management of Early Psychosis: A Preventive Approach (Cambridge Medicine)

"This is the most exciting psychiatric book I have read in the past twenty years...must reading for psychiatric residents and their teachers and supervisors. It can be an eye-opener, or rather a mind-opener, for all mental health professionals, regardless of discipline." Psychiatric Services

"This book is well-written and easy to read. The current knowledge about treatment of first-episode psychosis is accurately and comprehensively reviewed, making this an inspiring and very useful book in day-to-day practice." Psychiatry Times

"This is an excellent, clearly written text, liberally interspersed with informative case studies and clear diagrams which help to illustrate conceptual issues." British Journal of Psychiatry --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Psychotic illness is managed and treated with best results when it is recognized at the earliest stages of a person developing the disorder, or when that person is identified as being at high risk of doing so. Describing a stage-specific model highlighting the risk, the clinical and biological factors present during the development of the illness, and the best treatments available for each of these stages, this new edition will guide practitioners and researchers in the adoption of carefully planned management strategies fully integrating treatment with prevention. Issues such as resistance to drugs and vocational recovery are covered, with related topics such as service organization and community education. This will be essential reading for all those involved in the care of people with early psychotic illness, or those responsible for the organization of services.
