Psychotherapy of Psychosis, The
Edited by
Chris Mace and Frank Margison
This book provides an unusually
comprehensive survey of the current state and prospects of
psychological methods of treatment for people with schizophrenia
and other psychotic illnesses. It will be an invaluable resource
for mental health professionals and clinical managers involved in
their care, and essential reading for psychiatrists at all levels
of experience. The three traditions of psychotherapy and integrated
approaches are covered. Recent research in the process and outcome
of psychotherapy is reviewed and summarised. Clear advice is also
given on treatment techniques and settings with reference to
national policies.
