Building our understanding of “psychosis,” let the evidence be discussed!

The British, Mental Elf  https://www.nationalelfservice.net/about-mental/ blog is a venue that supports discussion on how practice can be supported by research, with lively discussion.

The British Psychological Society recently produced a document entitled #UnderstandingPsychosis, which outlined views on definitions, aetiology, treatment and suggestions for improving services for people with psychosis and schizophrenia.

The first edition of this report was covered in a Mental Elf blog in 2014 (Understanding Psychosis and Schizophrenia: a critique by Laws, Langford and Huda), which focused on the sections on medication, CBT and the medical model (Understanding Psychosis and Schizophrenia, 2014).

In this blog we focus on revised sections, pertaining to definitionsaetiology and treatment (Cooke, 2017).
