Description - Schizotypy and Schizophrenia by Mark F. Lenzenweger
This compelling book argues that all people with schizophrenia share a personality organization known as schizotypy. Presented is a novel framework for understanding schizophrenia through the study of individuals who may never develop the disorder, but who nonetheless harbor a liability for it. Mark F. Lenzenweger comprehensively reviews current knowledge about schizotypy while exploring broader questions of how to think about and conduct psychopathology research, making the book useful and relevant for both researchers and students. He demonstrates state-of-the-art strategies for combining clinical observations, psychometric and psychophysiological measures, neuroimaging, and genetic analyses, and for analyzing the results using advanced statistical techniques. This book will be invaluable to researchers, practitioners, and students in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, epidemiology, and psychiatric nursing. It will also serve as a supplemental text in courses in abnormal psychology, psychopathology, and clinical psychology research methods.
