Intervening Early in Psychosis. Edited by Kate V. Hardy, Jacob S. Ballon, Douglas L. Noordsy, and Steven Adelsheim. Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Association Publishing; 2019.

“A mystery,” “a sentence,” “a loss.” These are but a few words families use to describe the experience of having a loved one diagnosed with schizophrenia. In the book Intervening Early in Psychosis: A Team Approach, the authors seek to create a narrative for our work with patients that i nstead includes a refreshing degree of optimism. In this comprehensive review of first episode psychosis (FEP), the reader is taken on an evidenced-based journey from diagnosis through treatment. The early chapters present a detailed approach for setting up the clinical interview, even offering sugg estions on how to phrase questions and providing teaching points when using scales commonly deployed during initial assessment.
