Adolescents at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis

This is the first treatment manuals combining a treatment programme with a smartphone app, developed specifically for adolescents at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis. In an effort to prevent schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders, research has increasingly focused on identifying individuals in the CHR state at an early stage in order to treat CHR symptoms promptly. These symptoms typically emerge during adolescence and young adulthood — a particularly sensitive developmental stage — and are often accompanied by significant functional impairment. Despite the potential benefits of specialised interventions for young people exhibiting CHR symptoms, there is still a lack of evidence-based treatment programmes designed for this vulnerable patient group.
