Beschreibung
Governments around the world have given priority to "earlyintervention", i.e. the early diagnosis and treatment of youngadults with psychotic symptoms.
One of the main problems with this approach, is that only asmall proportion of these young adults can be expected to go on todevelop schizophrenia, yet all the treatment regimes are derivedfrom work with adults who have had full psychotic episodes.
Why Does Schizophrenia Develop at Late Adolescence?proposes a controversial new model of how schizophrenia develops inlate adolescence and presents clinical material aimed atinfluencing the way psychosis is treated, building on astate-of-the-art reassessment of the field.
* A major reconceptualisation of how schizophrenia develops
* A controversial approach
* Early intervention programmes are now extremely widespread, sothere is much interest in the area and how best to treat thisserious psychotic disorder
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...a stimulating and worthwhile book..."(Mental Health Today, Jul/Aug 2004) "An excellent case for a rather novel and very humanisticformulation of 'schizophrenia' is made...I wouldrecommend colleagues to buy this book." (PsychologicalMedicine, Vol.35, 2005)Weitere Details
