Inhaltsangabe

There is increasing interest in the setting up of specialised centers focused on treating young people in order to secure better outcomes and prevent the accrual of disabilities.
This practical handbook is aimed at mental health professionals and administrators. The rationale for early intervention is outlined and the authors describe the key elements of an early intervention strategy. There is strong emphasis on program evaluation and specific suggestions for application in an early psychosis context. Common issues and challenges in implementing early psychosis foci in the real world are highlighted. Numerous examples of early intervention strategies in operation around the globe are provided and progress on an international early psychosis consensus statement is outlined. 25 international advisors have been involved in the development of the project, making the book a unique, relevant and constructive guide for all professionals involved in this area.
