Psychosis Risk and Experience of the Self 1st Edition

Gripping and deeply insightful, Psychosis Risk and Experience of the Self (1st Edition) by Paul Møller is an essential read for clinicians, researchers, and students seeking a nuanced understanding of early psychosis. This book opens with a compelling exploration of how changes in self-experience can signal emerging psychosis, immediately drawing you into the clinical and conceptual stakes of early detection and intervention.

Blending rigorous clinical observation with contemporary research, Møller examines the subjective disturbances that often precede full psychotic episodes.

The text translates complex theories into practical insights, making it highly useful for psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses, and academic researchers focused on psychosis risk.

For students and researchers, the book offers a rich framework for study and investigation into early psychosis and the sense of self.
