책소개

The first book in a new series from the World Psychiatric Association, Schizophrenia: current science and clinical practice presents recent information on the diagnosis, neurobiological foundations, and management of schizophrenia. It evaluates the findings obtained with modern techniques like magnetic resonance imaging, genetics and network analyses. The book reviews the importance of neurocognitive functioning in schizophrenia and its predictive value for functional capacity. It covers the key areas of early recognition, prevention, rehabilitation and stigma. There is also a critical discussion of diagnostic classification and the revision of the two major international systems.Written by experts in the field who have a track record of being engaging authors, this book provides a rapid overview of the current state of the art in schizophrenia research and clinical management. It will be invaluable to all psychiatrists, psychologists, neuropharmacologists, researchers in psychiatry and psychopharmacology in academia and in industry, and clinical and behavioural neuroscientists.

출판사 서평

“Professor Gaebel and contributing authors are to be congratulated for this outstanding text.”& (Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 6 June 2012)"Nonetheless, Schizophrenia: Current Science and Clinical Practice will be an asset to those who are seeking a current and sophisticated synthesis of the field, combined with stimulating discussions of some pivotal controversies in both research and treatment. Gaebel has assembled a distinguished group of contributors who are more than up to the task of grappling with the challenge of discerning the implications of cutting-edge research for clinical intervention." (PsycCRITIQUES, 11 January 2012)&"I am not in a position to comment on most chapters, as I am not an expert in those fields, but all I can say is that I learnt a lot and that the book provided me with a good overview on different aspects of what we commonly call schizophrenia." (Acta Psychiatr Scandinavica, 2012)"The first chapter is an excellent and factual review of the diagnosis and classification systems that highlights the major validity issues. . .This new book is useful and current." (Doody's, 30 September 2011)"The book will be of interest to psychiatrists, psychologists, neuropharmacologists, researchers in psychiatry and psychopharmacology, and clinical and behavioral neuroscientists."
