The literature dealing with the topic of this paper seems almost unmanageable. Accordingly, a schema to sort research results is proposed discriminating goal population, service model, indication as well as the treatment model and setting of psychosocial interventions. The state of the art is exemplarily described by testing the integration of psychosocial research results into current guidelines for the treatment of somatic diseases. Results related to psychosocial factors actually have been integrated into guidelines. Nevertheless, questions related to the implementation of guidelines into the reality of the health service system as well as numerous methodological problems connected with an adequate evaluation of psychosocial interventions still need to be solved.

The aim of this scoping review was to map intervention programmes for first-episode psychosis by identifying their characteristics, participants, and specific contexts of implementation.

Despite the expansion of these programmes, there are still some significant variations and barriers to access that need to be addressed.
