description: To a large extent, the origins of schizophrenia continue to be "wrapped in impenetrable darkness." Schizophrenia remains a mystery, but nearly a century's worth of investigations have turned up some clues that can be followed in two directions. We may opt to look inward to examine the neurochemistry or neuroanatomy of the disorder. Or we may decide to look outward to determine how the disorder affects the patient's functioning in the world. EKY This is the first sole-authored book to integrate the theme of neurocognitive processes in schizophrenia. The approach is based neither on the psychological nor the medical model; it borrows from both. Psychologists, psychopathologists, psychiatrists, and family therapists.
