What is psychoeducation
Papworth 2013: any information or materials that are designed to provide the client with knowledge about their condition, including: Descriptions of the problem - diagnostic categories - common symptoms - case examples
It should enable the client to understand/know that the diagnosis/treatment is relevant to them
What prevents clients with anxiety coming forward?
The nature of anxiety means they feel others may judge or that they themselves think something more sinister is going on for example: intrusive thoughts vs voices
People with anxiety, because of the nature, also think they are the only ones- no one understands
