Access and engagement Most people, though not all, who develop psychotic disorders are young people with little or no experience of mental health services. They lack knowledge, carry the same fears and prejudices as the rest of the community regarding mental illness and will generally be reluctant to seek or accept help.

The primary point he wants us to consider in discussing the appropriateness of dynamic approaches is that the acute psychotic state has a self-healing capacity provided the individual is given an optimal psychological and social milieu. Psychiatry may facilitate the healing process; however, in Cullberg’s experience, this capacity is often obstructed by traditional psychiatric care conditions that are counterproductive to these processes. Cullberg outlines how a really effective organisation must put an emphasis on family and network relationships that provide support at times of crisis, on the building of self confidence, on continuity of therapeutic relationships and on skilful psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments.
