Role play
• How might you proceed with the following client? 16 year old male living independently from his parents for the last six weeks. Assessed using the SIPS and identified as being at risk of developing psychosis due to a recent deterioration in functioning plus a first degree relative with schizophrenia. Also, increasingly afraid to leave the house alone. Started about six months ago and now unable to go beyond the end of his street on his own.
He does not feel safe when he leaves the house and worries that
people he meets may attack him.
