Summary 

This briefing paper is intended for use by clinical psychology managers, service managers and commissioners of services (both in health and social care). It aims to provide information as to the role and function of clinical psychologists in assertive outreach services. It endeavours to take into account, as far as possible, recent health service initiatives, and to offer clear guidance as to the way clinical psychology input in relation to assertive outreach should be structured and supported.

This paper updates the earlier Psychosocial Rehabilitation Special Interest Group briefing on clinical psychologists and assertive outreach published by Meddings and Cupitt (2000).
