Focuses on practice-based and evidence-informed interventions to effectively understand and communicate with people who are experiencing psychotic symptoms.

Mental health professionals, individuals with lived psychotic experiences, and their family members and loved ones will find this book to be a strong and accurate voice that highlights the past and present disappointments in mainstream public mental health treatment, while delivering hope in creating a secure, self-determined life.
