Positive and Negative Symptoms in Psychosis

WALKER, Elaine

Taylor&Francis

It should be plain by now that we have too much government. Strip searches, confiscated homes, stolen children, denial of due process, war without end. Sounds like life in a Third World country, doesn't it? But this is our own federal government "for, of, and by the people," invading our personal lives, supposedly for our own good.

Older adults with schizophrenia have been a largely neglected population, and only since 1990 has any systematic effort been made to study them. Schizophrenia in Late Life helps fill the void in the literature. This volume presents a uniquely comprehensive picture of the current research about this population. With normal aging used as the point of comparison, Harvey explores several issues in the domain of schizophrenia and aging. The central issue is that of age-related changes in the clinical features of schizophrenia, which include delusions, hallucinations, emotional changes, cognitive impairments, and adaptive life skills. The text also examines whether the course of schizophrenia changes over time and considers the implications of pharmacological and behavioral treatments for schizophrenia.

A state-of-the-art title, this handbook describes the most up-to-date knowledge of our understanding of cognition in schizophrenia. Cognition is one of the most critical, if not the most critical aspect of the schizophrenic illness. For the first time, the authors assess the importance of cognition as an independent symptom domain, including also an analysis of the costs of impairment. They focus on all the essential features of cognition in schizophrenia and discuss the clinical implications of these deficits in the everyday life of patients. The most recent data on the beneficial effects of the newest medications that enhance cognition without influencing the psychotic symptoms of the illness is included as is a unique review of cognition and ageing. Authoritative and timely, the book provides a concise and easy-to-follow but sophisticated analyses of cognitive deficits, their implications and the newly developing treatment strategies.
