Summary:

Considering cultural differences between Asian and Western patients, this book focuses on delivering effective treatment in early psychosis, especially for the young. It covers early intervention programs in Hong Kong and Singapore and assesses recent developments in Korea and Japan. The volume covers the management of psychosis, including pathways to care, stigma, and interventions. Referencing frontline practitioners, research findings, and theories, the text highlights practical needs in non-Western healthcare settings and features culturally relevant discussions on recovery and relapse, self-harm, and co-morbid substance abuse.
