  The onset of psychosis provides an opportunity to intervene early in order to optimise the impact of medical and psychosocial treatments on the long-term course of the disorder. This timely book comes from experienced clinicians working in the UK's first Early Intervention service, and shows how an EI service can integrate a recovery approach, the benefits of which can include: reduced hospitalisation and relapse rates, reduced suicidality and improvements in social and vocational outcomes. Illustrated with a wealth of clinical examples, the book will be of great interest to clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals working with this client group.
