"This book is a perfect example of 'practice-based evidence': experienced clinicians sharing their hard-won expertise with difficult to engage service-users. The approaches described are built upon evidenced-based psychological therapies, and anchored to the same values, but adapted and improvised according to the reality of clinical diversity and the variety of contexts in which people with psychosis are seen. This is the 'go-to' book for when the going gets tough." - Dr Emmanuelle Peters, Reader in Clinical Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience PICuP Clinic Director (Psychological Interventions Clinic for outpatients with Psychosis), South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
