Psychosis-risk syndrome is gaining recognition as a distinct clinical condition, and may be included as a diagnosis in the upcoming version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). As direct mental health practitioners, social workers are in an ideal position to both address the diverse psychosocial needs and improve the accessibility of services for this difficult-to-define population. As macro-level practitioners, social workers can provide a valuable perspective on ethical issues while advocating to reduce the stigma surrounding the provision of intensive mental health services to individuals struggling with psychosis-risk syndrome. |
