Abstract

Acceptance and recovery therapy by levels for psychosis (ART) proposes a contextual, multidimensional and interdisciplinary approach, from a stable and integrative psychotherapeutic intervention framework over time and in different forms. The purpose of this chapter is to bring the reader closer, through extracts from several cases, to some of the possible adaptations and therapeutic definitions in relation to the different levels of affectation, in the different phases and evolutionary stages of psychosis from ART.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In psychopathological examinations, concepts such as awareness of illness and the presence or absence of insight are often added. In addition to the complexity of describing such states, with marked discrepancies in the literature, we start from the idea that these concepts, arising from the biomedical model, are neither necessary nor relevant to a person’s recovery.
