Summary
This chapter will describe the psychological processes thought to underlie psychosis and how these approaches can assist our understanding and management of psychotic disorders. There is no single model for complex conditions and the main theoretical underpinnings and treatment approaches derived from psychodynamic, systemic and cognitive behavioural frames of reference will be outlined. Clinical examples will illustrate the application of these ideas in clinical care.
