A doctoral research project

Growth-Oriented Practice in Psychosis

What helps people grow through and beyond experiences of psychosis — and how can clinicians support that growth?

This site introduces an ongoing doctoral research project at the Salomons Institute for Applied Psychology, Canterbury Christ Church University. The project explores how mental health professionals understand growth following psychosis and how they can recognise, protect and support it in clinical practice.

Background to the Research

The growing evidence base for positive changes following psychosis, and why a broader model of growth is needed.

The Research Project

Aims, research questions, methods, and how mental health professionals can take part.

Research Team

Ethical Approval

How the study has been reviewed, and how participants are protected.

The study is actively recruiting mental health professionals who aim to support clients to learn and grow from experiences of psychosis. If that describes your practice, please see The Research Project page for details.
