Overview

Rarely has a book focused in so comprehensive a manner on the treatment of schizophrenia. Contemporary Issues in the Treatment of Schizophrenia covers the spectrum of therapeutic approaches to the disorder -- biological, pharmacological, and psychosocial -- as well as presenting a wealth of new research on the course and outcome of schizophrenia. This volume should be a welcome addition to the libraries of psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, psychologists, and other health professionals working with schizophrenia.

<p> The book is a thorough, clinically oriented literature review covering the diagnosis and current treatment of schizophrenia as well as shortcomings in our understanding this devastating illness. It goes beyond the sometimes cursory overview presented by general psychiatry textbooks and does a good job in reviewing the research that led to our current knowledge. -- Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
