In this comprehensive manual for clinicians, Ahmed (clinical psychologist) and Boisvert (psychology, Rhode Island College) present a method called Multimodal Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, inspired by positive psychology and intended as a full adjunct therapy with the potential to reduce the need for pharmaceutical treatment over time. The method, focused on the strengthening of intact mental function and coping skills, is introduced and elaborated from its original group setting. Suggestions are given for adapting the techniques to individual sessions and to patients with mental health issues other than psychosis, such as substance abuse. The text includes many flowcharts, diagrams, and case studies to aid comprehension, and is supplemented by handouts and worksheets for use with patients.
