Title: The Psychotherapy of schizophrenia
Description: "This book presents a large number of diverse and original essays on the subject of how to treat patients with schizophrenia. As a result of the broad range of expertise available here, the disorder is considered from a global perspective, and virtually all important points of view are represented." "The specific topics also cover the full range of treatment situations, from individual therapy relationships to social rehabilitation and in patient hospital care, as well as family and group therapy." "All the contributions are intentionally concise in order to maximize their number and also to highlight the key arguments being addressed. The practical aspects of the different approaches to schizophrenia are given special consideration, although theoretical reference points are clearly defined by the contributors to avoid methodological confusion." "The broad scope of the material in this book makes it quite productive for all mental health professionals, including psychiatrists and psychologists, and also social workers, nurses, and others having significant interaction with patients and families affected by schizophrenia. Teachers and trainers, as well as students will of course also enjoy the broad overview and stimulating debate presented here."--BOOK JACKET.
