Early Psychosis Intervention A Culturally Adaptive Clinical Guide

A lucid and sensitive account of how Western early intervention models for psychosis can be adapted to different cultural settings. Richly illustrated by real-life clinical insights based on a decade of experience. Essential reading for those caring for psychosis patients in non-Western locations as well as in multicultural settings in the West. -- Sir Robin Murray, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London From East Asian cultural settings known for high levels of stigmatization of severe mental illness comes perhaps the single most important work on early psychosis and its treatment in the past decade. This book, filled with hard-learned lessons from clinical practice, program development, and implementation research, provides models critical for the global mental health movement worldwide. An inspiration! -- Byron J. Good, Professor of Medical Anthropology, Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School
