Outpatient treatment of psychosis: psychodynamic approaches to evidence-based practice

This title offers a practitioner's guide to evidence-based practice in working with psychotic patients in an outpatient setting by clinicians and scholars who are internationally recognised for their work in treating severe psychopathology.

Topics cover conceptual, technical, and practical considerations in the parameters of working with adult and adolescent populations that exhibit thought disorder, delusions, hallucinations, borderline organisations, trauma, and schizoid phenomena.

Different theoretical models are presented from psychoanalytic traditions that introduce the student and practitioner to eclectic ways of conceptualising and treating these challenging clinical groups.
