National Institute for Clinical Excellence updated guidelines for schizophrenia (2009) recommend two psychological treatments – cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) and family intervention for psychosis (FI). Despite these recommendations being in place for nearly a decade, implementation problems remain, particularly for FI. It is argued that these problems can be overcome, if services prioritise improving access to psychological therapies for psychosis, and that carers in particular need their own services to be developed.
