OverviewSchizophrenia is a mental disorder that causes great suffering for patients and their families. The aetiology of schizophrenia is not known. It has been suggested that particular environmental factors and susceptibility genes in interaction make individuals more prone to develop the disorder. The pathophysiology of schizophrenia is subject to extensive research where genetics, environmental risk factors, neuropsychology, brain imaging, brain morphology and neurochemistry are some areas of rapid growth. After an introductory chapter on clinical features, this book focuses on these research areas, and gives a picture of important research findings and concepts. It also gives insights into clinical neuropsychological assessment, early detection and intervention, and pharmacological treatment. Historical backgrounds, important discoveries and concepts are presented as well as new technologies. The different chapters are written by highly recognised Scandinavian scientists. The book is primarily intended for healthcare professionals, students and researchers, but will also be informative for readers with a more general interest in schizophrenia in the light of new research.
