Advances in pharmacotherapy and psychosocial interventions continue
to improve the success of managing schizophrenia. Early detection
and intervention in people with, or at risk for, psychosis give
patients and their families hope for a better course of illness and
an improved outcome. The interdisciplinary approach, combining
pharmacotherapy and psychosocial interventions, markedly increases
the chance of long-lasting remission and recovery. However, a cure
for schizophrenia has yet to be found. Research, particularly in
the past decade, has revealed some of the biological and genetic
facets of the origins of schizophrenia, and this has contributed to
the better quality of treatment. This book aims to provide a short
but detailed overview of current standards of care in
schizophrenia. It takes into consideration several treatment
recommendations proposed in published guidelines for schizophrenia,
including the guidelines by the National Institute for Health and
Clinical Excellence (2009), the American Psychiatric Association
(2004), the Canadian Psychiatric Association (2005), and the Royal
Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (2005). A major
problem with guidelines such as these is the difficulties
encountered in translating them into daily clinical practice.
Therefore, the fundamental aim of this book is to present the
guidelines as clearly as possible in the context of relevant
clinical treatment issues. The book does this with the help of
figures that provide the clinician with algorithms and summaries of
the most important information required for the practical treatment
and theoretical understanding of schizophrenia.
