For those struggling with experiences of psychosis, therapy can be beneficial and even life changing. However, there is no single type of therapy, and a great range and diversity of therapeutic approaches have been developed to help different individuals’ needs, which makes deciding which approach is most helpful for an individual not a straightforward choice. Personal Experiences of Psychological Therapy for Psychosis and Related Experiences uniquelypresents personal accounts of those who have received therapy for psychosis alongside professional clinical commentary on these therapies, giving multiple perspectives on what they involve and how they work.

Presented in a clear and accessible way, each chapter includes accounts of a variety of different therapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma-focused therapy, open dialogue, and systemic family therapy. The reader is encouraged to explore not only the clinical basis for these therapies but also understand what the treatments mean for the person experiencing them, as well as their challenges and limitations. The book also explores the importance of the individual’s relationship with the therapist. As a whole, the perspectives presented here provide unique insight into a range of widely used psychological therapies for psychosis.

With its special combination of personal experiences and concise introductions to different therapies, this book offers a valuable resource for academics and students of psychiatry, clinical psychology, psychotherapy, mental health care and mental health nursing. It will also be essential reading for those considering treatment, their friends and families, as well as mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists and nurses.

Dr. Olympia Gianfrancesco is a scientist, researcher, and speaker in the field of genetics and psychosis, with a particular interest in trauma and psychological therapy.

Olympia earned her Undergraduate and Masters degrees in Medical Genetics from the University of Sheffield in 2013, and completed her PhD at the University of Liverpool in 2017. During this time, she studied the interaction between genes and environment in influencing a person’s likelihood of experiencing psychosis.

Olympia has spoken about her personal experiences of psychosis, therapy, and recovery, at conferences, on seminar series, and as part of undergraduate Psychology and Neuroscience courses. She has acted as an ‘expert by experience’ advisor on a number of Clinical Psychology research projects, and most recently published the book, ‘Personal Experiences of Psychological Therapy for Psychosis and Related Experiences’.

Olympia is passionate about crossing disciplinary boundaries within research, and bringing together perspectives from across psychology and biology in order to better understand how our lives can affect our genes, and how we can use this knowledge to transform narratives around psychosis, inspire hope, and empower recovery.
