Produktbeschreibung
This book reviews the descriptive features of psychotic symptoms in various medical conditions (psychiatric, early psychosis, general medical, neurological and dementia), non-medical settings (individuals without the need for care or at high risk for psychosis), and population groups (children and adolescents, adults, older adults). Similarly, the perspectives of many disciplines are provided (historical, psychiatry, psychology, psychopathology, neurology, phenomenological philosophy) so that readers may become familiar with different approaches that are used to define, evaluate and categorize psychosis, at times independently of clinical diagnosis. This book is a resource book for those requiring an understanding of clinical and conceptual issues associated with psychosis, with chapters written by academics and clinicians who are leaders in their respective field. The book also provides a guide regarding the methods of assessment for psychosis and its symptoms, with 119 rating scales which are described and evaluated. The Assessment of Psychosis will be particularly useful to the clinical and research community, but also to readers interested in individual differences and human psychopathology.

Massoud Stephane, MD, is an influential psychiatrist and neuroscientist whose expertise spans neurology, psychiatry and in vivo brain imaging. A lot of his research is based on the patient experience as a starting point, and he made significant contributions to the understanding of hallucinatory experiences and cognitive and linguistic disturbances in schizophrenia.
