Book Overview
Examining timely debates around contentious topics in schizophrenia, Controversies in Schizophrenia demonstrates that while some criticisms of psychiatry are pertinent, many are flawed.
Drawing on diverse sources including personal accounts of people with schizophrenia, reports, and psychiatric guidance, this book conceptualises schizophrenia in the context of other psychotic disorders, in order that the condition may be understood better. Key topics covered include antipsychotic medication, a biopsychosocial view, stigma, implications of schizophrenia as an illness, brain anomalies, and neurochemical factors.
This book is essential for mental health professionals working regularly with people with psychosis, including psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, psychologists, nurses, and social workers.
