This is a timely overview of new psychological interventions in this exciting and emerging field. "Working with People at High Risk of Developing Psychosis: A Treatment Handbook" presents the most up to date progress in the identification of individuals who are at ultra high risk of developing a psychotic illness. The book focuses on a range of psychological interventions that are currently being developed, tested, and used in order to alleviate these early symptoms and attempt to delay or even prevent the onset of a psychotic illness. Even for those who will not go on to develop an illness, such interventions are helpful in the alleviation of their presenting symptoms. This practical treatment handbook addresses a wide range of issues presented by "at risk" clients. Specific chapters, written by experts in that particular area, cover stress management, co morbidity, substance misuse, family work and group therapy.

Within clinical psychology and psychiatry there is a developing interest in what has traditionally been known as the "prodromal" phase of the psychotic illness. This is the period prior to the emergence of the first full blown psychotic symptoms during which preventively aimed interventions may be most effective.
