Psychosis is an extremely incapacitating pathology which affects about 1% of the world's population.
This book covers:
- A cognitive approach that takes account of patients' quality of life.
- Development of investigative techniques in the central nervous system.
- The contribution of new molecules such as antipsychotics, which has radically altered the clinical view of psychosis and thus the therapeutic strategies taken.
The authors stress the importance of practitioners becoming aware of treatment methods and of the essential part played by the family in monitoring schizophrenic patients.
This clear and precise book presents an overview of the current state of approaches to psychosis. It will enable all those involved – psychiatrists, neurologists and general practitioners – to significantly improve the quality of the care provided to patients and to answer the questions they may ask.
