Psychotic patients who prove unresponsive or inadequately responsive to neuroleptics often remain significantly impaired after standard treatment and require extended institutional support. However, such support is currently in such short supply that it is often unavailable as is evident from the large numbers of homeless psychiatric patients now living in our cities. The Neuroleptic Nonresponsive Patient; Characterization and Treatment assists clinicians who treat such neuroleptic-refractory patients. Clinical researchers in this area should find the book useful for its coverage of methodology, literature review, proposed theoretical concepts, and new data. of the most conservative to boldest options that clinicians have at their disposal. The authors provide insight into mechanisms currently proposed to underlie neuroleptic response versus non-response. Nine tables and eight figures are included.
