Clinical Handbook of Schizophrenia

Reviewing the breadth of current knowledge on schizophrenia, this handbook provides clear, practical guidelines for effective assessment and treatment in diverse contexts. Leading authorities have contributed 61 concise chapters on all aspects of the disorder and its clinical management. In lieu of exhaustive literature reviews, each chapter summarizes the state of the science; highlights key points the busy practitioner needs to know; and lists recommended resources, including seminal research studies, invaluable clinical tools, and more. Comprehensive, authoritative, and timely, the volume will enable professionals in any setting to better understand and help their patients or clients with severe mental illness. This book will be important reading for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, and other clinicians treating people with severe mental illness; also of interest to researchers and students. It may also serve as a text in graduate-level courses.
