Book excerpt: This is the first text to focus on the potential of early detection of psychosis, and the practicalities of treatment. Based on the pioneering experience and research of a now well-established prevention and intervention center, and with contributions from international authorities, this book outlines a framework for intervention, reviews the evidence available to guide clinical practice, and describes models of treatment. Incorporating many personal narratives and case histories, this volume is strong on theory, sensitive on practical issues, and will challenge, inform, and guide clinicians in the mental health fields.
