Interventions
Whomsley, 2009
What are psychological interventions?
• Education/information
- patient
- carers
• Family work (EE reduction)
• Medication management
• CBT for psychosis (depression, anxiety)
• Specific techniques (solution-focused; cognitive
remediation)
• Creative therapies (Cochrane, not NICE)
• Relationship management (patient-staff) & support
What is a social intervention?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Welfare benefits
In-patient/admission
Supported accommodation
Befriending
Social opportunities
Activities (often social)
Indirect
- working with carers
- liaising with other agencies
• Addressing abuse
• Conform to spiritual/cultural issues
Are social factors important?
International Study of Schizophrenia (ISoS)
Outcome
favourable developing:developed odds ratios 1.6 to 3.5
Best outcome rural Chandrigarh (not psychotic last 2
years)
Death rate (SMR)
worse in industrialised countries
Social factors (2)
• Warner (2004)
• Tikopia (Firth, 1961)
Strengths
Rapp & Goscha
60’ of “why your life is shit” is depressing
Doctors rarely discuss strengths/assets
Medicalisation versus normalisation
‘RECOVERY’
Not ‘restitutio ad integrum’
Personal journey & adaptation
•

•
identity
autonomy / control

hope
connectedness
Includes psychosis?
Wellness Recovery Action Plan

•
Daily maintenance
Triggers (and action)
Early warning signs (and action)
Breaking down (and action)
Crisis plan/advance directive
Copeland
Sequence and timing
• Vicious cycle virtuous circle
• Weakest point
• Most accessible point
• Opportunity
Cycle of change
•Precontemplation
•Contemplation
•Preparation
•Action
•Maintenance
•Recycling (relapse and learning)
•Termination
Prochaska et al.
Phases of intervention
• Engagement
- often practical assistance
- loss leader
• Intervention
• Maintenance
• [step down / discharge]
Therapeutic relationships
“Effective care for the severely mentally ill
needs to be embedded in a supportive and
trusting relationship”
Burns + Firn (2002)
Maximise ‘placebo’ effect

Attachment strategy/style
• Synonym for disorder – especially anxious
borderline personality disorder
• Predispose to disorder
• Affects illness behaviour and therapeutic
relationship
• May be a complicating independent factor

Outline 2 – Assertive Outreach
• History
• Principles & Practice
• Outcomes
• where next?
Deinstitutionalisation
• Massive closures of mental health beds
• ‘community care’
• Problems transfer from hospital site to
community
• Keeping patients out of beds is priority
Oppositional Model of Psychiatry
• Patient thinks they’re ill – not
• Patient doesn’t think they’re ill – must be
• Patient wants medication – refuse
• Patient doesn’t want medication – insist
• Patient wants admission – refuse
• Patient refuses admission - coerce
Homicides
• Patients move from place to place, service to service
• Separate services/records: health & social care
• Information does not follow patient
• Patients disengage
• Patients stop medication
• medication alone is not enough
• Poor team work, staff don’t follow procedures
Nb victimisation; ISoS 25% lost to f/u esp. male slow onset
Media & politicians
Psycho axe murderer
innumerate
consumers/voters
Something must be done
Foreign prophets
• Stein & Test (1980) Assertive Community
Treatment
• Discharge from publicly funded bin:
to community with no funded health care
to community with limited social welfare
• No rehabilitation programmes
• High relapse/readmission rate
Answers
• Care Programme Approach
• Christopher Clunis report (Ritchie,1994)
• Cochrane Review 1998 recommends ACT
• MH Policy Implementation Guide 2001
eligibility criteria
• Adult
• Severe mental illness
• Failure of standard care
- revolving door
- disengagement/treatment resistant
- multiple complex needs
• High risk
• depends partly on what else is available
EXIT criteria
?
PRACTICAL ASPECTS
• Skill mix – different disciplines including medic
• Caseload capped 10-15 per care co-ordinator
• Critical mass – sufficient size for team
• Extended hours
• Strong communication internal and external
STAFF ATTITUDES
• Team player
• ‘can do’
• Flexible
• Low EE
• Doesn’t flap
GREY AREAS
• Evening / 24 hour working
• ‘whole team approach’
• Application to rural areas

Current evidence
Very mixed
Issues
• fidelity
• duration of study
• difference from ‘standard’ service
Generally
• better engaged
• more satisfied
• ? IP – more likely if previous use high
if faithful to model: daily meet, MDT, focus, h.v.
• therapeutic relationship engagement
fewer admissions (new patients)
After AO/ACT?
• UK services very varied
• FACT
= Flexible/functional ACT
= larger caseload (15-25)
= step up/down within team
= zoning/RAG - ragging
• How the poor die – Orwell
• Ward 6 – Chekhov
• Notes from the Underground
Part I the Underground - Dostoevsky
