Schizophrenia in children and adolescents

The earlier in life schizophrenia manifests itself, the poorer the long-term prognosis, and

although it is very difcult to diagnose in the young, early treatment is now thought to improve

outcome. Recent research also suggests that early onset schizophrenia has developmental

precursors, making it difcult to distinguish from a number of other developmental disorders. In

this timely book, an international team of psychiatrists, psychotherapists and psychologists give

an up-to-date review of the latest ndings in the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia in

children and adolescents to give a comprehensive account of the current state of knowledge and

the therapeutic options available to clinicians. They examine the disorder from developmental

and clinical perspectives, with a focus on diagnosis, etiology, therapy, and rehabilitation. This

book is essential reading for all mental health professionals who treat young people with

schizophrenia.

Helmut Remschmidt is Professor of Child Psychiatry and Head of the Department of Child and

Adolescent Psychiatry at Philipps University in Marburg. He has published widely in the eld of

child and adolescent psychiatry, with particular interest in developmental psychopathology,

schizophrenia research, psychiatric genetics, therapy, and evaluation research.

Cambridge Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Child and adolescent psychiatry is an important and growing area of clinical psychiatry. The last decade

has seen a rapid expansion of scientic knowledge in this eld and has provided a new understanding of

the underlying pathology of mental disorders in these age groups. This series is aimed at practitioners

and researchers both in child and adolescent mental health services and developmental and clinical

neuroscience. Focusing on psychopathology, it highlights those topics where the growth of knowledge

has had the greatest impact on clinical practice and on the treatment and understanding of mental

illness. Individual volumes benet both from the international expertise of their contributors and a

coherence generated through a uniform style and structure for the series. Each volume provides rstly

an historical overview and a clear descriptive account of the psychopathology of a specic disorder or

group of related disorders. These features then form the basis for a thorough critical review of the

etiology, natural history, management, prevention and impact on later adult adjustment. Whilst each

volume is therefore complete in its own right, volumes also relate to each other to create a exible and

collectable series that should appeal to students as well as experienced scientists and practitioners.
