Psychosis has long been viewed through a medical model focused on symptom reduction—but recovery is about much more than eliminating symptoms.

Together, they discuss common misconceptions, reducing stigma, person-centered care, and the emerging role of psychotherapy—including DBT—in supporting individuals experiencing psychosis.
