Description
Book SynopsisThis book lays the traditional diagnostic oversimplification of schizophrenia to rest once and for all. The editors of this groundbreaking work challenge the reductionist view of schizophrenia as a single unitary disorder—a view that has led many psychiatrists and mental health care professionals to overlook potentially important syndromes.
Trade ReviewThis is a wonderful addition to the field of psychiatry . . . This book provides a nice review of the clinical and research experience in this area and provides practical approaches to assessing, diagnosing, and treating schizophrenics with comorbid psychiatric disorders.
