Given the limitations of medication-only approaches and the need for an expanded perspective, including for those diagnosed with schizophrenia, \u003ci\u003eSurviving, Existing, or Living\u003c\/i\u003e takes a fresh look at severe psychosis, offering a heuristic model for understanding psychosis along a continuum of severity, from the extreme experience of acutely impairing psychosis to a more enriched life experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePamela Fuller emphasizes that facilitating recovery from psychosis requires appropriately and effectively matching the type and timing of interventions to client readiness and capabilities.
