"I was encouraged at how the author educates readers on how to properly engage with empathy, respect, genuine interest, and a posture of humility when meeting patients with psychotic symptoms." -- Doody's Book Reviews "This book demonstrates in a compelling manner, through reviews of both historical and contemporary trends, that human services practitioners are best able to help clients with psychotic symptoms when they enter into their clients' subjective worlds and attend to their clients' needs to develop meaning and purpose in their lives. The author illustrates the limitations of the medical model and provides useful strategies for practitioners to connect more personally and empathically with those who experience psychosis. She also does a fine job of comprehensively reviewing effective psychological and social interventions." -Joseph Walsh, PhD, Professor, School of Social Work, Virginia Commonwealth University "Healing the Distress of Psychosis is a book every mental health worker and administrator should read. It is full of practical guidance that emphasizes listening, patience, and hopefulness. It recognizes the role played by alcohol and street drugs in a way that most mental health books skip over. Funding, regulations, and training should be geared toward supporting the advice contained in Dr. Dunn's book rather than making it more difficult to implement." - Robert Nikkel, MSW, Founding Board Member, Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care; President of the Board, Dual Diagnosis Anonymous of Oregon "Healing the Distress of Psychosis captures the struggle that exists between people who are living with a diagnosis and the traditional mental health system that relies heavily on psychotropic medications as the primary, and often only, treatment for psychosis. This book eloquently debunks myth after myth in a humanistic and compassionate manner. It is a must-read for everyone and will change the way professionals see their role." -Guyton Colantuono, Executive Director, Project Return Peer Support Network "An engaging and historically thorough inquiry into the nature of psychosis, and a clarion call for dramatically changing how our mental health system responds to those experiencing it. The book's subtitle provides a brilliant and poetic summation of what Shannon Dunn is arguing for." -Robert Whitaker, Journalist and Author, Anatomy of an Epidemic; President, Mad in America Foundation, "I was encouraged at how the author educates readers on how to properly engage with empathy, respect, genuine interest, and a posture of humility when meeting patients with psychotic symptoms." -- Doody's Book Reviews"This book demonstrates in a compelling manner, through reviews of both historical and contemporary trends, that human services practitioners are best able to help clients with psychotic symptoms when they enter into their clients' subjective worlds and attend to their clients' needs to develop meaning and purpose in their lives.

Synopsis
Even among mental health clinicians, the communications of individuals experiencing psychosis have historically been considered mysterious, bizarre, and invalid. These judgmental, inaccurate interpretations and accusatory attitudes can cause iatrogenic trauma, a significant obstacle to recovery. Healing the Distress of Psychosis focuses on practice-based and evidence-informed interventions to effectively understand and communicate with people who are experiencing psychotic symptoms. The text thoughtfully describes: the experience of psychosis, as well as the unique intervention method of fostering the therapeutic relationship; and the psychotic thought process from neurological, linguistic, and existential-psychological perspectives. Mental health professionals, individuals with lived psychotic experiences, and their family members and loved ones will find this book to be a strong and accurate voice that highlights the past and present disappointments in mainstream public mental health treatment, while delivering hope in creating a secure, self-determined life., Healing the Distress of Psychosis debunks myths about understanding people who experience psychosis and common interventions, and serves as a modality to accurately understand and communicate with individuals who are actively experiencing psychosis. This philosophy has been utilized over time, but has not been tapped by mainstream mental health treatment., The treatment of psychosis presents unique clinical challenges to even experienced practitioners, who have to perform a delicate calculation with each client - which treatment course holds the most benefits and least risks: the symptoms themselves or the laundry list of harms caused by medications, in-patient treatment in psychiatric care facilities, and other interventions. In most other areas of mental distress, there is a clearer way to an answer, and at a minimum, client and therapist are speaking the same language. Not so, however, when working with psychosis, which brings profound neurological and existential impacts on the brain and mind, leading to unrecognizable behaviors, thoughts, and actions. To engage with clients in this state, Mayeda argues, requires not only training and technique, but in fact a whole new way to communicate.The philosophy of Listening with Psychotic Ears is a fresh and accessible way to accurately understand the expressions of a person whose brain is communicating under the influence of psychosis and facilitate a self-determined life worth living. When encountering a person who is experiencing psychosis, we are able to enter their subjective world by accessing their cultural experiences and language by listening with our psychotic ears, just as a bilingual woman listens differently with her Spanish ears to the language and cultural context at hand. We tune in to the distinctive metaphorical speech patterns and consider the person in his or her cultural context, using imagination and empathy to accurately understand what is being communicated.
