Reviews

The last 20 years have seen extraordinary breakthroughs in our understanding and treatment of schizophrenia. This handbook manages to capture both the breadth and depth of these advances with impressive scholarship and elan. Written by international leaders in the field, this volume is an essential addition to the libraries of scientists and clinicians. - Max Birchwood, DSc, Professor of Mental Health, University of Birmingham, UK It would not surprise me if this handbook quickly became the 'go-to' book' on schizophrenia for researchers, clinicians, and students. This is one of those rare volumes that combine excellent depth (via the leading schizophrenia researchers in the world) with a breadth of topics that is second to none. - David L. Penn, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA This handbook is a landmark effort to give the working clinician portals of entry to the vast scientific and clinical literature on schizophrenia. The chapters provide accessible summaries, efficiently and sensibly organized by topic--from basic science, to assessment and treatment, to service systems, policy, law, and ethics. There is no other volume available with comparable breadth, accessibility, and sensitivity to the needs of the clinical practitioner. - Will Spaulding, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Nebraska--Lincoln, USA Although I have read (and written) many books about schizophrenia, I was highly impressed by the extensive array of topics that this volume addresses...The volume is distinctive in the way it interweaves scientific knowledge and practical living issues, medical and functional features, individual and population aspects, and somatic and rehabilitative interventions...This book informs, enriches, and inspires. - Henry A. Nasrallah, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, USA 'This book provides comprehensive, up-to-date, easy-to-access information on every aspect of schizophrenia that clinically oriented readers would want in a single source. It reflects well the diverse and extensive experience of Mueser and Jeste, who are clinicians, researchers, and educators of great distinction.' - Herbert Y. Meltzer, Division Director, Psychopharmacology, Department of Psychiatry, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, USA

This book is extensive and informative, and has the potential to vastly increase the knowledge required to more effectively support those with schizophrenia - Rebecca Forde, Forensic Update The last twenty years have seen extraordinary breakthroughs in our understanding and treatment of schizophrenia. This Handbook manages to capture both the breadth and depth of these advances with impressive scholarship and elan. Written by international leaders in the field, this volume is an essential addition to the libraries of scientists and clinicians. - Max Birchwood, Professor of Mental Health, University of Birmingham, UK
