Schizophrenia

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Readers will find this book to be an excellent primer for their understanding of schizophrenia ... The book brings together the extensive literature on schizophrenia and presents it in an easy-to-read and concise manner. The discussion of what is schizophrenia is remarkably well written. The presentation of epidemiological data with particular reference to comorbidity as well as the biopsychosocial aspects is impressive ... The breakdown of therapeutic interventions into social and community and psychosocial interventions is excellent ... The authors' approach to schizophrenia contains the essential information and insight needed for a primer for such a complex disorder ... They have put together a solidly written book and have made a worthwhile contribution to the mental health field." - Nicholas Greco IV, MS (Abbott Laboratories), Doody's Notes"This is a very worthwhile volume. It presents a thorough review of the disorders of behaviour and experience which lead to a diagnosis of schizophrenia ... The volume is an ideal introduction to the vast research literature on schizophrenia ... The book will be ideally suited to final year undergraduates undertaking an 'Abnormal Psychology' Option, and also as an introductory text for trainee clinical psychologists and psychiatrists ... I strongly recommend it." - Professor David Hemsley, Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK "This is a very worthwhile volume.
