In psychosis seminars, despair, exuberance, fear, suffering and excessive demands, but also courage and the power to cope, have their say. Psychosis seminars promote security and confidence to face the distress caused by psychosis without fear. Psychosis seminars are not a science, nor are they a form of psychotherapy, but they do impart knowledge and experience. Psychosis seminars explore the scope for contradictory truths and create sensitivity for the inner realities of the seminar participants. People experiencing psychosis, families and professionals are confronted with themselves, their helplessness and their strengths, psychiatric professionals in particular with the kindness of their help lines. Relatives and professionals are only familiar with psychosis from the perspective of others and are able to deal with the self-perspective of people with psychosis.
