Treatment also often includes other elements. There is substantial research support for coordinated specialty care, which is a multi-element, recovery-oriented team approach to treating psychosis that promotes easy access to care and shared decision-making among specialists, the person experiencing psychosis, and family members. People experience better outcomes from coordinated specialty care if they begin treatment as soon as possible after psychotic symptoms emerge.
The worksheet and clinician guide were developed based on the results of a recent scoping review on the relationship between diet and mental health symptoms among individuals with SSD. A feedback process involved a focus group with psychiatrists and interviews with individuals with lived experience with psychosis. Participants were asked a series of structured and open-ended questions. Interviews were transcribed and data units were allocated to categories from an existing framework. The comments were used to guide modifications to the worksheet and clinician guide. A brief interview with all participants was completed to gather feedback on the final version.
This publication presents an evidence-based worksheet and clinician guide to support mental health professionals to engage patients with severe mental illness in basic dietary counseling. A feedback process involving practicing psychiatrists and individuals with lived experience of psychosis was undertaken; many constructive comments resulted in meaningful revisions and improvements to the design and content. All participants provided positive comments, recognized a need for research in this area and were satisfied with the final version. Further research on this worksheet is warranted, including evaluation with a larger sample size.
Conclusion: Forms of insight can occur in the context of discordance or disagreement with the clinician's opinion. We present a testable model of the sociocultural determinants of insight that can guide future studies.
Volume 13, Issue 4 of the Journal of EMDR Practice and Research (JEMDR) is an important issue for EMDR therapy. In the editorial, Louise Maxfield, JEMDR Editor, points to the growing body of evidence regarding the efficacy of EMDR therapy, as well as the need for continued research. Conceptualized as a guide for clinicians, this issue includes articles about the use and effects of EMDR across a range of populations, diagnoses, and symptom clusters. Many clinicians familiar with EMDR therapy know that although EMDR therapy has been proven effective for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, the research body is not as extensive when looking at the use of EMDR therapy for other diagnoses and issues. This issue addresses this concern, and looks more closely at how EMDR has been conducted in these other contexts: specifically, clients with depression, complex PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, psychosis, substance use disorder, OCD, and pain treatment as well as with the child and adolescent population and as an early intervention. The articles are written by EMDR therapy experts familiar with these areas, and include overviews of research already conducted in these areas as well as suggestions for moving forward. This issue focuses attention on where EMDR therapists can target their efforts while pursuing further research and also celebrates the extensive evidence base that EMDR therapy already has.
The choice of medications used to treat core symptoms of mania is important and often complex. As noted above, there are several different types of mania and a considerable amount of research has been done to discover which medications are best suited for treating particular subtypes of mania. Dozens of large-scale research studies have been conducted in recent years and specific treatment guidelines have been developed that are very useful in helping physicians to decide on initial medication choices (see below). However, the fact is that each person will have a number of factors unique to her or him that will influence the choice of medications, such as age, gender, body weight, history of allergies to medications, liver metabolism rate, the presence or absence of other medical conditions and other medicines being used to treat such conditions. Your patients must anticipate that it is extremely common for psychiatrists to make initial medication choices, begin treatment and then during the following weeks or months make what are often frequent changes in the doses or medications prescribed. There is an important reason for emphasizing this. Many times, people being treated for bipolar illness or their family members become worried as they begin to encounter side effects, or they must go through what seems like an endless number of lab tests or changes in medications or medication doses. Many people become concerned that these medication changes suggest that their doctor may not be competent or that their case of bipolar is especially treatment-resistant. This then can lead to discouragement and feelings of pessimism. Here is the truth: the pathway to recovery and good outcomes, more often than not, is complicated. The rule, not the exception is that people will be tried on several if not many medications in the search for the right drug or medication combinations. It is so important to help patients understand this and not conclude that the frequent changes in medications are necessarily a reason for concern. The fact is that bipolar disorder is challenging to treat and often requires a considerable amount of time systematically trying various medications before the right medications combinations are found.

Psychosis can be associated with a variety of mental health problems, including schizophrenia, severe depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorders. While traditional treatments for psychosis have emphasized medication-based strategies, evidence now suggests that individuals affected by psychosis can greatly benefit from psychotherapy. Treating Psychosis is an evidence-based treatment guide for mental health professionals working with individuals affected by psychosis. Using a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach that incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and mindfulness approaches, this book is invaluable in helping clinicians develop effective treatment for clients affected by psychosis. The guide provides session-by-session clinical interventions for use in individual or group treatment on an inpatient, outpatient, or community basis. The book features 40 reproducible clinical practice forms and a companion website with additional downloadable clinical forms and tools, guided exercises, case examples, and resources. The therapeutic approaches presented are rooted in theory and research, and informed by extensive clinical experience working with client populations affected by psychosis. The approaches outlined in this book offer clinicians and clients the opportunity to partner in developing therapeutic strategies for problematic symptoms to enable those affected by psychosis to work toward valued goals and ultimately live more meaningful lives. This guide emphasizes a compassionate, de-stigmatizing approach that integrates empowering and strengths-oriented methods that place the client's values and goals at the center of any therapeutic intervention. 59ce067264
