Abstract

Schizophrenia is a devastating disorder that starts in early life and can lead to lifelong disability. It is a major public health challenge for all cultures and all countries. Clinical practice must therefore focus on early intervention, optimal treatment, shared decision-making and long-term recovery. "By listening to patients' experiences, alongside the latest research, we now know much more about 'what works'," say the authors of this fully updated fourth edition of 'Fast Facts: Schizophrenia'. In this highly readable resource, they cover the present state of knowledge about the neurobiology, diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia, including: • emerging evidence from genome-wide association studies for multiple susceptibility genes • DSM-5 diagnostic criteria plus discussion of alternative classification systems • a comprehensive review of drug and non-drug treatment strategies and how to improve adherence • a new management principles chapter that emphasizes the importance of coordinated multidisciplinary care • the latest findings of structural and functional imaging studies. With good care delivered by knowledgeable compassionate health professionals, many people will recover at least partially from their first episode of psychosis and live a fulfilling life. Written from an international perspective, 'Fast Facts: Schizophrenia' will refresh and update family physicians, psychiatrists in training, mental health nurses and medical students - in fact, all health professionals - who need to know about the disorder and need to know it quickly. Contents: • A brief history • Symptoms and diagnosis • Epidemiology: risk factors and outcome • Genetics • Developmental theories and environmental factors • Neuroanatomy and structural imaging • Neuropsychology and functional imaging • Neurochemistry • Management principles • Pharmacological treatment • Psychosocial interventions and non-drug treatment • Early intervention and prevention • Useful resources

Abstract

An international team of leading researchers and clinicians here provide a comprehensive, epidemiological overview of this multi-faceted and still perplexing disorder, and address some of the key questions it raises. How important in the genetic contribution to schizophrenia? Do pregnancy and birth complications increase the risk for schizophrenia? Is the incidence of schizophrenia changing? Why is the rate higher among immigrants and in those born in cities? Controversial issues such as the validity of discrete or dimensional classifications of schizophrenia and the continuum between psychosis and 'normality' are explored in depth, and separate chapters are devoted to topics of particular relevance to schizophrenia such as suicide, violence and substance abuse. Finally, new prospects for treatment and prevention are considered. Drawing together the findings from social, genetic, developmental and classical epidemiology of schizophrenia, this text will prove an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers.

Abstract

This text provides a person-centered approach to helping individuals with schizophrenia meet their personal goals.The approach is strongly influenced by the ""recovery"" model. This model emphasizes a respect for an individual's ability to participate in decision-making about their illness and an appreciation that people can achieve many of their personal goals even when their illness is only partially controlled. There is also an emphasis on the diversity of individuals with schizophrenia.That is, although many people with this illness are severely disabled with limitations in their abilities

Abstract

Die forensische Relevanz von Wahn und Schizophrenie ist keinesfalls nur ein Spezialthema der forensischen Psychiatrie, sondern ein Problem aus dem Alltag der Psychiatrie. Es gibt mehrere Gründe, die dazu auffordern, sich eingehend mit der forensischen Relevanz von schizophrenen Erkrankungen und Wahnsyndromen zu beschäftigen. Zum einen muss inzwischen als gesichert gelten, dass Patienten mit schizophrenen Psychosen ein höheres Risiko für die Ausübung von Gewalttaten bis hin zu Tötungsdelikten aufweisen. Zum anderen gibt es in der Psychiatrie einen Schwund an psychopathologischem Wiss

Abstract

This series acknowledges the substantial gap that still exists in psychiatry between research evidence and clinical practice: clinicians are sometimes incompletely aware of research findings, or regard them as biased, not convincing or not relevant to their practice. By using systematic reviews with accompanying commentaries this volume is able to assess the ""evidence"" and ""experiences"" to give a critical and objective account of the relevant issues, while focusing on key topics. This comprehensive book addresses schizophrenia through a systematic review of the available research evidence.
