he study took place within an early intervention for
psychosis service, which at the time of writing held
a caseload of approximately 350 clients aged 14–35
years. Such services have been developed nationally
in line with the Department of Health’s (DH) (2000) NHS
Plan: A plan for investment, a plan for reform, the Mental Health
Policy Implementation Guide (DH, 2001) and the National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s (NICE) (2009)
Schizophrenia: Guideline on Core Interventions. Before the
establishment of these services, there were concerns that
existing mental health services were unable to meet the needs
of individuals during the ‘critical period’ following the onset
of their illness (Lester et al, 2009). The overarching aim of
early intervention services is to provide early detection and
evidence-based treatment of psychosis during this critical
period (Birchwood et al, 1990). Relapse prevention and the
reduction of long-term secondary disabilities are also key in
early intervention service provision.
