Summary:

The field of early intervention in psychotic disorders has rapidly advanced in the past decade. Clinical practice is striving to incorporate the unfolding research findings and clinical innovations that are occurring on an international scale. Unfortunately, clinical practice guidelines often fail to make a significant impact because of adoption and implementation difficulties. Best Care in Early Psychosis Intervention seeks to assist widespread implementation by presenting views on best practices from around the world. The book begins with a fully updated version of the Guide to Clinical Care for Early Psychosis-an overview of optimal practice originally published by the University of British Columbia. A wide variety of contributors will then discuss their unique efforts at implementing the principles of care espoused in the Guide. These discussions are followed by a series of chapters on state-of-the-art applications of specific intervention issues by world leaders in the early psychosis field.
