The scientific study of mental disorder is exciting today because of new discoveries in molecular genetics, cognitive processes, neurochemistry and neuroanatomy. Psychopathology combines these fields of research to present a comprehensive picture of psychosis. In this important volume, distinguished investigators from these fields present new findings from their laboratories, as well as perspectives on areas of rapid growth and change. The editors also provide thoughtful overviews of four major topics in psychopathology research: brain mechanisms, thinking, development and genetics.

Book Description
From psychopathology's beginnings at a descriptive level--cataloging signs and symptoms--it has become a vigorous, mature, experimental field, making strides in both biological and psychological understanding. In this important volume, scholars review new data and provide recommendations for future research. Their collected work, celebrating the career of Professor Philip Holzman, is an up-to-date account of progress and discussion of major problems in psychopathology. This book covers neuroanatomical, developmental, cognitive and genetic research and theory as they relate to schizophrenia and other psychoses.
