A Casebook of Family Interventions for Psychosis is a practical guide to implementing family interventions for psychosis. The book discusses different family needs and illustrates different approaches to offering the interventions. It describes a number of clinical cases in full - including the theoretical basis, engagement, assessment, formulation, intervention plan, progress, revisions, outcome and critical appraisal. The cases are described by a range of professionals, such as those in psychology, nursing, social work and family therapy, as well as relatives who have taken part in family interventions. These combine to provide a 'real world' view of such cases, which places emphasis on what can be learned from the process.

"This fine book, by taking a casebook approach, provides richinsights into how family interventions translate theory intopractice. Few accounts, if any, give a clearer picture of whatfamily interventions for psychosis look and feel like."
-Professor George Szmukler, Psychiatry and Society,Institute of Psychiatry, UK

"This excellent book reflects a maturing of the field of familywork for psychosis while also providing a powerful stimulus forfuture development. Its detailed focus on research-informedpractice, combined with a critical reflective edge means that itcontains a wealth of invaluable ideas and suggestions aboutdeveloping and providing services for families, without beingsimply another 'how to' text. I would stronglyrecommend it to all who are concerned with improving services forpeople with psychosis, and it should be required reading onspecialist family therapy and family interventions trainingprogrammes."
-Dr Alex Reed, Family Therapist & Family TherapyTrainer

"Reading this book gave me an overwhelming sense of relief. Forthe last 25 years, I have been associated with families coping withpsychosis. I have watched them struggle to understand, to accept,and to learn how to manage the bewildering array of difficultcircumstances created by psychosis in a loved familymember...This book shows us how to develop and utilize thisresource for the benefit of all concerned, and is an invaluableresource for mental health clinicians, family carers and serviceusers alike."
