This book provides a practical framework for using a person based cognitive therapy approach for addressing the range of problems experienced by people with psychosis. Chapters 1-4 provide a context for the approach and chapters 5-12 cover the clinical application of the approach. Key features include; the integration of the author’s work on Mindfulness (simple meditation technique that is similarly creating a lot of interest at present) for people with psychosis; inclusion of the two-chair method; plus a chapter on group therapy.

Internationally respected authors, actively working in this area, establish theoretical reasons for extending cognitive therapy to these symptoms. This includes a justification for looking at symptoms rather than syndromes, first-person accounts of delusions and hallucinations along with an analysis of why the cognitive approach is ideally suited to the study and treatment of these disabling disorders. Describes how to make a cognitive assessment of both hallucinations and delusions and which measures to use. Contains new research and methods of managing these severe psychoses.

From leading treatment developers, this book presents an empirically supported 8-week mindfulness program specifically designed for people with psychosis. The authors explain how mindfulness for psychosis groups can safely and effectively help participants transform their relationship to distressing voices, images, thoughts, and beliefs; cultivate self-acceptance; and take meaningful steps toward recovery in daily life. Every session combines formal mindfulness practices with reflective group discussions. Clear instructions for implementation are illustrated with vivid case vignettes and sample scripts. Reproducible client handouts can be copied from the book or downloaded from the companion website, which also features audio recordings of the guided practices.
