Book Description
Schizophrenia From A Neurocognitive Perspective: Probing the Impenetrable Darkness is a sole-authored work and the first book to provide an integrative framework for the theme of neurocognition in schizophrenia. Recent advances in schizophrenia research have brought about a fundamental shift in the way the disorder is viewed. Schizophrenia is seen increasingly as a neurocognitive illness. This view has its roots in both the psychological and medical models, but it goes beyond them. The book uses neurocognitive concepts to guide the reader through neurochemical, neuroanatomical, and clinical features of schizophrenia. It also presents clinically relevant information on the interrelationships among neurocognitive deficits, treatment, and outcome. Both students and practitioners will benefit from learning about rapid advances in schizophrenia research and treatment that are dramatically changing our view of this disorder.
From the Back Cover
To a large extent, the origins of schizophrenia continue to be "wrapped in impenetrable darkness." Schizophrenia remains a mystery, but nearly a century's worth of investigations have turned up some clues that can be followed in two directions. We may opt to look inward to examine the neurochemistry or neuroanatomy of the disorder. Or we may decide to look outward to determine how the disorder affects the patient's functioning in the world. EKY TOPICS: This is the first sole-authored book to integrate the theme of neurocognitive processes in schizophrenia. The approach is based neither on the psychological nor the medical model; it borrows from both. Psychologists, psychopathologists, psychiatrists, and family therapists.

Very informative, but might be a hard read for some.,

This review is from: Schizophrenia from a Neurocognitive Perspective: Probing the Impenetrable Darkness (Hardcover)
Wordy and at times dificult to read, yet it had a very large amount of information for what seemed like such a small book. The author presents several different theories for each subject he discusses, instead of presenting one as the gospel truth, which I liked a lot. While you probably won't find this a fun or easy read, it's really detailed and informative for anyone who wants to know more about Schizophrenia.

This review is from: Schizophrenia from a Neurocognitive Perspective: Probing the Impenetrable Darkness (Hardcover)
As a leading researcher in neuropsychological aspect of schizophrenia, Prof. Green has published many enlightening papers on American Journal of Psychiatry and Schizophrenia Bulletin. In this book, the editor tried to incorporate current concepts into a causal model that covering deeper psychopathological processes and more plenty explanation of outcome variances. The editor offered us comprehensive reviews on the details of neuropsychological paradigm and gave us some inspiration of further researches. This work is not only excellent in its comprehensiveness but also compendia in text.
