Rationale for and overview of the second edition of The Recognition and Management of Early Psychosis

Abstract

Introduction and rationale This is the second edition of our book entitled The Recognition and Management of Early Psychosis first published in 1999 (McGorry & Jackson, 1999). Although this book is a second edition, every single chapter is completely new. In fact, we have an almost completely different set of authors for this second edition. The chief reason for this resides in the explosion of literature on early psychosis over the last decade. Different areas of interest have emerged along with another generation of researchers, clinicians and colleagues from a diversity of countries around the globe. Represented in this book are authors from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, the USA..
