All staff acknowledged the importance of family work in psychosis, but COAST staff had access to supervision and engaged more in family work. The pattern of family work undertaken differed from that reported in research studies.Conclusions: Tracking the acquisition of skills by mental health staff is feasible. However, clinical skills are used differently in routine services and in research settings. Most families in early episodes of psychosis need relatively low intensity support, such as information and a clear contact point. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
