Experiences with psychosis often go hand in hand with profound insecurities and fears, but also with symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations and a social retreat. This has a strange effect on all those involved. With this book the authors build a bridge on the way to understanding. Her model of decaying psychosis offers orientation and guidance for joint action in crises, in everyday life and in therapy. The life-world model of recovery developed in joint research with persons experienced in psychosis describes the basic attitude and the concrete tools of the trade for health-promoting accompaniment of those affected. The classical doctrine of disease has neglected the question of how psychoses subside and thus contributed to the fact that psychiatric treatment often seems to be reduced to the administration of psychotropic drugs. But also current recovery approaches.
