Psychose, van complex naar gelaagde eenvoud

Abstract

Psychosis, from complex to layered simplicity. Low-threshold recovery-oriented work, multivoicedness and psychotrauma are different facets of the approach to the complex problems of psychosis in VRINT (Early psychosis intervention team). While there is often a great deal of uncertainty and powerlessness when psychotic experiences take over, a connecting multidisplinary approach that focuses on low-threshold connection and understanding opens up possibilities. While the etiology of psychosis is still unclear, a better understanding of the role of trauma is a fruitful approach. It is echoed in the many stories coming from young patients after the first psychotic crisis(es) begin(s) to clear. Each unique story and personal recovery indicates a hint of the creative power that is also present. The work of VRINT shows how the layered, involved, simple proximity in treatments results in the much needed rest and recovery for young patients with psychosis.
