Description

This series acknowledges the substantial gap that still exists inpsychiatry between research evidence and clinical practice:clinicians are sometimes incompletely aware of research findings,or regard them as biased, not convincing or not relevant to theirpractice. By using systematic reviews with accompanyingcommentaries this volume is able to assess the "evidence" and"experiences" to give a critical and objective account of therelevant issues, while focusing on key topics. This comprehensivebook addresses schizophrenia through a systematic review of theavailable rearch evidence. This book "...was a pleasure to review. One can dip in and outof it at random to find an important aspect of schizophreniasummarised in a few paragraphs. The reviews are all well written,balanced and up-to-date. It is designed for an internationalreadership, and come commentaries, such as those on continentalconcepts of schizophrenia, or experience of stigma in the lessindustrialised world, are rarely found together in one volume."—British Journal of Psychiatry, 2001
