Paul French & Jo Smith 
Promoting Recovery in Early Psychosis 
A Practice Manual

[There has been an] extraordinary shift in how we understand and
treat psychosis, none more so than in the arena of Early
Intervention (EI) bringing with it new hope for young people with
emerging psychosis and their families.

From the introduction to the book

Centred around the Early Psychosis Declaration (EPD), this book
explores the declaration’s five themes through contributions from a
sizeable number of mental health practitioners, service-users and
carers. It is designed to help those working with people
experiencing psychosis at an early stage of illness to develop and
implement effective early intervention skills, enabling them to
examine and refine their practice. Most importantly, the book is a
practical guide to delivering early intervention strategies with a
unique focus on recovery.

* Includes an abundance of case studies to link theory to
practice

* Evidence-based

* Edited by an team with a wealth of clinical and research
experience

* Suitable for qualified practitioners from all disciplines
working in the Early Intervention field, including mental health
nurses, psychiatrists, social workers, occupational therapists,
clinical psychologists and lecturer/practitioners
