Description
Back to Life, Back to Normality 2: A Guide for Family Members and Friends of Those with Schizophrenia and Other Psychoses. Living with a loved one who suffers from schizophrenia or other psychoses can be challenging. Hallucinations, paranoia, and a decline in personal care are common symptoms that can be distressing for both the individual and their family. This book provides guidance on how to navigate these situations and offers practical support for those seeking to help their loved one recover. Research has shown that individuals without psychiatric training can learn and safely use CBT techniques to improve communication and provide effective support. The authors, Douglas Turkington and Helen Spencer, have developed a comprehensive approach that is described in the book with examples and illustrations. By learning these techniques, family members and friends can play an important role in facilitating their loved one's recovery. This book offers a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and support individuals with psychotic disorders.
