"A book that aims to give a succinct overview of the holistic
treatment of schizophrenia is extremely welcome...I am happy to
recommend it to mental health practitioners as a guide to
psychosocial treatments" - "Journal of Mental Health". The new
edition of "Pharmacological and Psychosocial Treatments in
Schizophrenia" provides an authoritative review of pharmacological
and psychosocial treatment interventions for individuals with
schizophrenia and related disorders.The text has been fully
updated, revised, expanded and new chapters encompass co-morbid
general health issues, violence in schizophrenia, the special needs
of women with schizophrenia, first-episode psychosis,
treatment-resistant schizophrenia, and clinical rating scales in
schizophrenia. Each topic is covered with a review of the relevant
literature, a summary of the main findings and some tips about how
to meet these needs in clinical practice. Thus, the book is both a
review and a resource for clinicians and service-providers. The
principal editors and their contributors give an opportunity for
leading international experts in the field to contribute and
provide an international flavour to the text.
