Reviews
“The Psychosis Workbook presents a comprehensive yet understandable explanation of psychosis. The authors have taken the mystery and fear out of the experience of psychosis, and replaced those with a clear and rational approach to help professionals understand the experience and those living with psychosis chart a path forward to health. The Psychosis Workbook is exceptionally clear, helpful, and complete. It should be required reading for all mental health clinicians.”
—Mary A. Jansen, PhD, vice president of the American Board of Serious Mental Illness and Severe Emotional Disturbance

“Although many textbooks and manuals have been written about psychosocial approaches for psychosis, there are few workbooks that are written directly for individuals with psychosis. This workbook offers a clear, accessible, and comprehensive approach to support individuals to draw upon a range of therapy approaches to enhance their own healing and recovery.”
—Kate Hardy, ClinPsychD, clinical professor in the INSPIRE Clinic at Stanford University, director of INSPIRE Training, and coeditor of Decoding Delusions

“A wonderfully comprehensive, well-researched, and non-stigmatizing guide to helping yourself with any form of psychosis. A truly person-centered and humanizing tool that fills a wide void in the market. As a psychosis community advocate and stabilized schizophrenic myself, I would recommend The Psychosis Workbook to anyone looking for support with their symptoms.”
—Rose Parker, schizophrenia and psychosis advocate and educator, and @PsychosisPsositivity author

“Supporting the development of the skills and attitudes necessary to achieve personal goals and manage distress is essential to helping individuals living with psychosis create rich, full lives. Either used for self-help or as a therapy companion, this long-overdue workbook offers a comprehensive, hopeful set of accessible tools to help individuals living with psychosis build lives worth living. There is nothing else like this out there.”
—Shirley M. Glynn, PhD, ABSMIP, research psychologist at UCLA, and coauthor of Behavioral Family Therapy for Serious Psychiatric Illnesses

“The Psychosis Workbook is a much-needed resource for people with mental illnesses. The authors use clear, straightforward language to demystify the experiences associated with psychosis, and provide a wealth of resources, skills, and exercises that will help those with psychosis successfully manage their symptoms and start their path toward recovery. Empowering and hopeful, this workbook will change people’s lives for the better.”
—Jennifer Snyder, PhD, associate chief of psychology at Oregon State Hospital; and past president of APA Division 18: Psychologists in Public Service

“This book is chock-full of practical information and advice, ranging from understanding the nature of psychosis to developing a plan to stay well, coping with common symptoms, and preventing relapses. The guide is easy to use, replete with numerous worksheets and engaging and inspiring vignettes, all written in clear, nontechnical, and recovery-oriented language. This is an essential tool for anyone seeking to regain control over their lives after experiencing psychosis.”
—Kim T. Mueser, PhD, professor of occupational therapy and psychological and brain sciences, and director of the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Boston University

“The Psychosis Workbook is a breath of fresh air for the recovery movement, a zephyr which can help lift families and loved ones with psychosis out of pessimistic stagnation and into a meaningful recovery trajectory. I strongly endorse this volume and will be recommending it during my international webinars and workshops on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for psychosis.”
—Douglas Turkington, MD, professor of psychiatry at Newcastle University in the UK, and coauthor of Treating Psychosis
