More than a Diagnosis: Recovery-Oriented Interventions for Psychosis and Related Experiences

Speaker(s):

Gerlach, Jennifer, LCSW

Presentation:

There was a time when many therapists were taught that people living with serious mental health conditions would not be able to respond to therapy and many individuals living with psychosis and related conditions were told their chances for recovery were minimal. Yet, with the mental health recovery movement and newer applications of therapies with an recovery-focus there is growing hope that individuals living with issues as these can create a life that they experience as meaningful. This presentation will focus on some of these interventions drawing tools from Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy, CBTp, ACT, and the mental health recovery movement.

Objectives:

  1. Improve understanding of the lived experience of mental health recovery and psychosis
  2. Grasp tools to assist individuals in coping with voices, paranoia and other intrusive symptoms
  3. Learn and practice new creative interventions to tackle negative symptoms of psychosis
  4. Challenge old ideas about ‘compliance’ with new concepts of client empowerment
  5. Assist clients in identifying values and engaging in value-based behaviors
