“…For instance, the author suggested that ‚clinicians may help clients identify their talents and explore ways to use these frequently to generate flow experiences‛ (p. 5). Given the crucial role that activities, hobbies and work might play in the recovery of people with severe mental health difficulties (Bryson et al, 2002;Davies, Hopkins, Campisi, & Maggs, 2012), the practical recommendations derived from the theory of flow appear consistent with the needs of individuals experiencing psychosis.…”

A correlational study examined the suppositions of Headey and Wearing's fourdimension model of subjective wellbeing (SWB) and psychological distress amongst people experiencing psychosis. The research objective was to replicate the model with the studied sample and to examine how emotional distress resulting from psychosis affects the individuals' satisfaction with life and positive affect levels. Forty-seven individuals with a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia completed self-report measures of psychoticism, paranoid ideation, depression and anxiety (Brief Symptom Inventory), positive affect (Affect Balance Scale), and life satisfaction (Satisfaction With Life Scale). Correlational patterns of the four-dimension model were replicated with individuals experiencing psychosis. Although the levels of depression and anxiety were clearly elevated in comparison with general population norms, the levels of positive affect remained similar to those in the general population, and the average life satisfaction appeared only slightly decreased. Depression was found to act as a dominant mediator between the severity of experiences of psychosis and satisfaction with life. Possible explanations for the findings are proposed and implications from the positive clinical psychology perspective are suggested. Based on the study outcomes it is argued that: (1) psychosis does not equal unhappiness, (2) psychosis does not immobilize adaptive mechanisms of SWB, (3) psychosis does not exempt individuals from positive mood set-points, and (4) psychosis does not indiscriminately lower life satisfaction.

“…Non-English language papers were excluded to ensure faithful application of the taxonomies. The final pool consisted of 132 service descriptions across 101 papers (quantitative: 95 service descriptions across 72 papers; qualitative: 37 service descriptions across 29 papers) [19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,…”

Inconsistent terminology and variation in service models have made synthesis of the supported accommodation literature challenging. To overcome this, we developed a brief, categorical taxonomy that aimed to capture the defining features of different supported accommodation models: the simple taxonomy for supported accommodation (STAX-SA). Data from a previous review of existing classification systems were used to develop the taxonomy structure. After initial testing and amendments, the STAX-SA and an existing taxonomy were applied to 132 supported accommodation service descriptions drawn from two systematic reviews and their performance compared. To assess external validity, the STAX-SA was distributed to a sample of supported accommodation managers in England and they were asked to use it to classify their services. The final version of the STAX-SA comprised of five supported accommodation ‘types’, based on four domains; Staffing location; Level of support; Emphasis on move-on; and Physical setting. The STAX-SA accurately categorized 71.1% (n = 94) of service descriptions, outperforming the comparison tool, and was not affected by publication date or research design. The STAX-SA effectively discriminated between ‘real world’ service models in England and 53.2% (n = 17) of service managers indicated that the taxonomy was ‘Very effective’ or ‘Extremely effective’ in capturing key characteristics of their service. The STAX-SA is an effective tool for classifying supported accommodation models and represents a promising approach to synthesizing the extant effectiveness literature. The authors recommend the development of reporting guidelines for future supported accommodation publications to facilitate comparison between models.

“…Such services promote deinstitutionalisation, prioritise provision of psychological therapies, employ assertive outreach strategies to engage individuals in the offered treatment, have a shared goal of facilitating independence, and enable functional networks of support. Successful provision of a high-relational supportive service for individuals with complex mental ill-health, including psychosis, was illustrated by Davies et al (2012). The authors reported significant gains in the areas of interpersonal integration, independence, and exercised choice among the service users.…”

Demographic Equality of Access to Cognitive Behavioural Treatment for Early Psychosis in Community Mental Healthcare in Greater London

Individuals experiencing psychosis have been described as one of the most stigmatised, disadvantaged and socially excluded groups in modern societies. Despite the development of evidence-based psychological treatments for psychosis, the access to such intervention remains debateable. In metropolitan areas, where clinical caseloads of mental health services should reflect the ethnic diversity of local populations, equal provision of recommended therapies might be further confounded, while empirical literature investigating this appears limited. The present study inspects equality of access to cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis across four specialist healthcare teams located in Greater London. Subsequent acceptance and participation in treatment are also examined. A retrospective analysis of electronic medical records of 244 patients was conducted using binary logistic regression and multiple linear regression. Participants were shown to have received treatment offers equally across demographic variables. Likewise, once the treatment commenced, engagement was equally distributed. However, despite having equal access to the offered treatment, patients of Black ethnic group seemed less likely to accept such offer, hence appeared disadvantaged in terms of treatment provision. This study demonstrates that, in multicultural communities, equal access to core interventions for psychosis is achievable, however does not on its own merits ensure equitable treatment provision. Thus mental health services need to proactively focus on specific ethnic groups requiring further efforts to increase treatment uptake. Keywords: mental health, psychosis, cognitive behavioural treatment, diversity, equal access to healthcare
