For several decades there has been an increasing move towards
viewing the psychotic illnesses from a dimensional perspective,
seeing them as continuous with healthy functioning. The idea,
concentrating mostly on schizophrenia, has generated considerable
theoretical debate as well as empirical research, conducted under
the rubric of 'schizotypy'. This book offers a timely discussion of
the most significant themes and developments in this research area.
Divided into four key sections which represent current concerns in
schizotypy research - Measurement, Brain and Biology; Development
and Environment; Consequences and Outcomes; and Future Directions -
chapters reflect a broad range of approaches and discuss varied
theoretical perspectives on schizotypy. Topics include: cognitive
and perceptual biases psychometric assessments creativity and
schizotypy genetic associations. developmental perspectives
Schizotypy: New dimensions will appeal to academics, researchers
and postgraduate students in the area of psychotic illnesses, as
well as professionals including psychiatrists and clinical
psychologists who are concerned with the basis of serious mental
disorder. The book will inform readers who are new to the topic and
will update and expand the knowledge base of those more experienced
in the field.
