Abstract
This chapter reviews common presentations of psychosis in transitional age youth (TAY) with a focus on schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Diagnostic approaches and assessment tools are outlined in addition to the clinical course and outcomes unique to this population. Evidence-based treatment of first-episode psychosis (FEP) is highlighted with an emphasis on coordinated specialty care (CSC) programs that utilize team-oriented recovery-based principles and a shared decision-making philosophy. Special consideration is given to the importance of using a developmental approach while engaging with transitional age youth with early psychosis and their families.
