Summary

This chapter will highlight one way by which to improve the mental healthcare for people with psychosis: providing enhanced, specialized professional training at the graduate and postdoctoral level. Specialized training is needed for clinical providers of all professions and disciplines, and this chapter will review the recent Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funded Recovery to Practice Initiative, aimed at enhancing knowledge, ability, and practice among interprofessional clinicians working with individuals with serious mental illnesses. The chapter will also provide an overview of cutting-edge efforts to revolutionize psychology training, with a description of the “Serious Mental Illness Psychology” postdoctoral specialty which was recently recognized by the American Psychological Association, as well as current efforts to create a psychology board certification in serious mental illness.
