Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of Schizophrenia®
*NEW EDITION*
The recent development of new classes of psychoactive drugs has led to advances in the treatment of schizophrenia. This handy prescribing guide also discusses the complexities in diagnosing this debilitating mental disorder. 320 pages
“This is the second edition of a useful handbook on the diagnosis and management of individuals suffering from schizophrenia. With its bare bones approach, this small book offers a fairly up-to-date, honest, and balanced review of the issues, especially regarding the validity and boundaries of the syndrome as well as the advantages and disadvantages of first- and second-generation antipsychotics. Written and edited by leaders in the field, this update is a handy addition to the field.”
