Psychosocial approaches to managing psychosis have shifted from a purely behavioural focus to an emphasis on the interaction of cognitions and behaviour the symptoms of psychosis. There has been a particular emphasis on the factors maintaining the experience of residual psychotic symptoms (e.g. hallucinations), but also on the distress and disturbance that can be associated with experiencing these symptoms.
Individuals with severe psychiatric illnesses, such as schizophrenia, typically experience numerous problems in their relationships with others. For many clients, poor social functioning is related to social skill difficulties. Helping clients improve their social skills enables them to enhance their social functioning in the community.
The suggestion and empirical finding that there exists a significant rate of comorbid social anxiety in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia has existed for over a decade. The inclusion of treatment programmes for people whose psychosis is well controlled, yet suffer from co-morbid social anxiety, offers an improvement in mental health care.
The effect of aggressive behaviour on young people and others in their lives can be far-reaching. This is a skills-based group program which allows the young person to learn and practice the skills needed for aggression control. While the treatment program is specifically designed for young people, many of the underlying concepts may also be relevant to adults.
The Centre for Clinical Interventions in partnership with Curtin University developed this manual for the WA Primary Health Alliance to provide clinicians with evidence-based information to implement Low Intensity Psychological Interventions (LIPIs) for adults with anxiety and depression.
