About this title

Synopsis

Providing essential, state-of-the-art information in easily digestible segments for clinicians and students, this unique text includes the following key features:

brief, realistic case vignettes adapted from real clinical experience, which increase understanding of the clinical or theoretical point being made

questions interspersed throughout the book to promote information retention.

Using a 'phase-of-illness' approach to schizophrenia and its management, this important text provides the best context in which to discuss and integrate various technical and theoretical aspects, and also describes treatment customized to the phase in which the patient is presented. The only one of its kind - no other currently available book takes this approach.

Detailed, informative and user-friendly, Schizophrenia is essential reading for all primary care physicians, psychiatry trainees, and early career mental health workers.
