Adding to the expanding body of literature on shared formulation, the authors present over two decades of practice-based evidence supporting the utilization of a Shared Assessment, Formulation, and Education (SAFE) approach in working with individuals with complex mental health and behavioral needs. The SAFE approach provides a robust evidence-informed framework for multidisciplinary teams to effectively address the complex and enduring needs of individuals with complex and persistent psychosis, for whom current evidence-based interventions fail to effectively promote their recovery. Through detailed case studies, the authors offer a diverse set of practical tools and formulation templates that can be utilized by clinicians and professionals alike. They propose a shared language to enhance multidisciplinary understanding of the complex needs of service users and establish a framework for organizing treatment that is focused, realistic, and targeted at reducing recovery barriers and enabling individuals to lead personally meaningful lives.

The book primarily concentrates on the treatment of individuals with psychosis who require bespoke, multi-theory-informed care. This work holds immense value for professionals engaged in working with this client group, encompassing clinical and counseling psychologists, psychiatrists, and other allied health professionals.
