Psychosis Risk and Experience of the Self : Understanding the Individual Development of Psychosis As a Basic Self-disturbance

Møller sheds light on the inner aspects of psychosis and psychosis risk, and its core experiential phenomena as a method of understanding the individual early psychosis development. The book details how such experiences might take shape in the human mind and how a better understanding achieved through detailed clinical conversations can lead to earlier detection and improved interventions. Møller also outlines the subjectivity model (also called Ipseity Disturbance Model) and presents a broad review of different treatment approaches and settings, in which work with disturbed self-experience could be integrated, including psychotherapy, in-patient milieu therapy, supportive treatments, psychoeducational family work, local networking, and medication. __Psychosis Risk and Experience of the Self__ will prove essential for experienced and specialised clinicians as well as the more generally interested reader.
