5.0 out of 5 stars
Useful clinical resource,
This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Schizophrenia (Hardcover)
This is a useful book for any clinician working with people with schizophrenia. One of its attractions is the broad range of topics covered, all written in a simple and direct style towards clinicians with a minimum of references and lengthy research reviews, and an emphasis on providing practical clinical guidelines. The book is divided into 8 sections: Core Science and Background (11 chapters), Assessment and Diagnosis (4 chapters), Somatic Treatment (5 chapters), Psychosocial Treatment (10 chapters), Systems of Care (5 chapters), Special Populations and Problems (11 Chapters), Policy, Legal, and Social Issues (6 Chapters), and Special Topics (8 chapters), with most chapters in the 7-15 page range. The greatest strength of the book is its comprehensive coverage of psychosocial treatments (including chapters addressing topics such as cognitive-behavior therapy for psychosis, family treatment), and special populations and problems, (including chapters such as first episode psychosis, aggression, medical comorbidity, and intellectual disability). An especially unique chapter is devoted to the issue of promoting health sexuality in schizophrenia, a common but neglected problem.
