Schizophrenia Revealed: From Neurons to Social Interactions

Rating:
Summary: "Schizophrenia Revealed" is an excellent up-to-date summary
Review: Michael Foster Green is a Ph.D. in the UCLA Dept. of Psychiatry and is
the sole author of this book (as well as innumerable papers on this
subject in the scientific literature). While his prior book on
schizophrenia was clearly aimed at a professional audience, this
current one is eminently suitable for both lay and medical audiences.
It is up-to-the-minute in explaining this complex disease in cause,
diagnostic testing, and treatment. Physicians will find many useful
clues in making this difficult diagnosis and in how to structure
therapy. Of even greater value, this is the first down-to-earth, very
readable (and humorous) book to explain to families why this has
happened to loved ones. It is a very good book, and very well
written.
