This outstanding book meets these vital needs, and deserves a place on the bookshelf of all clinicians working with this population.′ – Kim T. Mueser, Professor of Psychiatry and Community and Family Medicine, Dartmouth Medical School Hanover, New Hampshire 
′This is a special book prepared by many of the most outstanding professionals in the field and will greatly enhance practical knowledge on working with families for clinicians and mangers.

Readers will find here a wealth of information and inspiration as well as excellent tools to apply the methods in their clinical settings.′ – Diane Froggatt, Secretary and Development Officer, World Fellowship for Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders
′This fine book, by taking a casebook approach, provides rich insights into how family interventions translate theory into practice. Few accounts, if any, give a clearer picture of what family interventions for psychosis look and feel like.′ – Professor George Szmukler, Psychiatry and Society, Institute of Psychiatry, UK 
A Casebook of Family Interventions for Psychosis is a practical guide to implementing family interventions for psychosis. The book discusses different family needs and illustrates different approaches to offering the interventions. It describes a number of clinical cases in full – including the theoretical basis, engagement, assessment, formulation, intervention plan, progress, revisions, outcome and critical appraisal. The cases are describe d by a range of professionals, such as those in psychology, nursing, social work and family therapy, as well as relatives who have taken part in family interventions. These combine to provide a “real world” view of such cases, which places emphasis on what can be learned from the process.
