This is the first book to address the clinical and neurobiological
interface between schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder
(OCD). There is growing evidence that obsessive-compulsive symptoms
in schizophrenia are prevalent, persistent and characterized by a
distinct pattern of familial inheritance, neurocognitive deficits
and brain activation. This text provides guidelines for
differential diagnosis of schizophrenic patients with
obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and patients with primary OCD
alongside poor insight, psychotic features or schizotypal
personality. Written by a leading expert in the coexistence of
obsessive-compulsive and schizophrenic phenomena, Schizo-Obsessive
Disorder uses numerous case studies to present diagnostic
guidelines and to describe a recommended treatment algorithm,
demystifying this complex disorder and aiding its effective
management. The book is essential reading for psychiatrists,
neurologists and the wider range of multidisciplinary mental health
practitioners.
