Schizophrenia

Our understanding of schizophrenia has advanced considerably over the last ten years, yet it remains the most debilitating of the psychotic disorders, with less than one third of sufferers returning to a 'normal' level of functioning.

This highly-accessible and up-to-date book brings together the disparate and complex literature on the subject.

Written by two leading academic-clinical psychologists, it uniquely combines key scientific concepts with clinical reality, exploring the biological and psychological aspects of schizophrenia before going on to look at interventions and strategies.

Schizophrenia is essential reading for all those attempting to gain some understanding of this exciting and rapidly developing field, from undergraduates to trainees and professionals, including clinical psychologists, psychiatric nurses and psychiatrists.
