Description: This authoritative text provides a wide-ranging survey of schizophrenia, including an up-to-date account of what is known about its underlying biology. The main part of the book covers clinical aspects, including differential and dual diagnosis; and treatment and management problems, particularly in relation to care in the community. Topics covered include brain imaging, genetics, pharmacology, and neuropsychology. The text also features chapters on health economics and forensic issues. This book, which is unusual in its breadth and concern for social and community issues, will be a valuable reference for all psychiatrists and many other health professionals involved in the management of schizophrenia.
