Achieving recovery and remission for people experiencing psychosis requires a multifaceted, team-based response, and it is precisely this sort of a holistic approach Intervening Early in Psychosis: A Team Approach provides. With expert guidance on tailoring care to the needs of young people experiencing a first-episode psychosis, this book begins with an overview of the history of early psychosis services in the United States and the development of coordinated specialty care (CSC) services. Clinical case examples then illustrate the application of a range of evidence-based interventions, from the psychological and psychosocial -- including cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis and supported employment and education -- to peer, family, lifestyle, and technological interventions.
