Treating Psychosis (eBook)

$47.75

Treating Psychosis is an evidence-based treatment manual for mental health professionals working with individuals who experience psychosis, a serious form of mental illness that causes delusions, hallucinations, and thought disorders. Psychosis is usually associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and severe depression. This is the first professional book to use a compassionate, mindful approach to treating psychosis using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and compassion-focused therapy (CFT). The book provides clinicians with a pre-treatment overview and treatment implementation strategies, and focuses on developing a realistic action plan for treating patients with psychosis, as well as maintaining wellness.
