The authors advise therapists not only to read and respond to the messages embedded in the symptoms, but also to recognize and utilise the non-psychotic aspects of the patient in facilitating recovery. The overall aim is to recruit the patient as a collaborator in their treatment, thus wresting a meaningful and redemptive narrative from the psychotic experience. All aspects and phases of treatment - from initial encounters through the middle phase to termination, and even supervision - are covered in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbundant with clinical examples, theoretical and technical points, and treatment methods, this book is essential reading for all psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, and other mental health clinicians working with psychosis. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45242823934103,"sku":"9781032579016","price":2577.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032579016.webp?v=1769233135","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/from-breakdown-to-breakthrough-psychoanalytic-treatment-of-psychosis-9781032579016","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
