Personal Experiences of Psychological Therapy for Psychosis and Related Experiences: ISPS Book Series, Meet the Authors Session

Description

Psychological or talking therapies increasingly have a place in helping those who are struggling with experiences of psychosis. However, the wide variety of therapies available, and the uncertainty about what a particular therapy involves can make the decision to seek therapy for personal experiences of psychosis a complex and difficult one. With any step into the unknown or uncertain, it often helps to find out more of the experiences of others who have already walked these paths. With this in mind we decided to put together a book focusing on individuals’ personal experiences of psychological therapy for psychosis. The book contrasts first-person accounts of therapy with outlines of the different therapies written by the clinicians who practice these approaches.
This symposium provides an introduction to the upcoming book, and encourages a wider discussion around the related issues of choice and decision making when it comes to psychological therapy for psychosis.
