The Healing Force of Families Providing Help for those Suffering from Psychosis

Abstract

The book is a huge work done, and carried out profoundly, exhaustively, about the family interventions of psychotic states. (I have to note though that it uses exclusively the cognitive behavioural approach, I sometimes missed the cross references to other optional family therapeutic approaches.) The demonstrations of case studies and the health care systems are punctual, easy to understand, detailed, and therefore can be transformed to practice easily. It can be felt that the writers are on a mission of spreading their work methods, which are worthwhile using, as they experienced. The mission reaches out to many target groups, such as relatives, patients, different professions occupied in health care systems, and the leadership of health care and funding. It is the great richness of the studies mentioned that makes this reading useful for all these people.
