"Can schizophrenia be prevented? French and Morrison, major
investigators in the landmark study demonstrating that
schizophrenia can be prevented, provide specific details about the
adaptation of standard cognitive therapy to the treatment of
individuals at high risk of developing this disorder. In a clear
readable style, they guide the reader through the identification of
high-risk individuals, crucial cognitive behavioral strategies and,
above all, relapse prevention. This book is a must for clinicians
dealing with high-risk adolescents and young adults."
--Aaron T. Beck, M.D., University Professor of Psychiatry,
University of Pennsylvania
"French and Morrison's theoretical framework is coherent and
well articulated and brings to bear cognitive and interpersonal
factors that we know to be active in established psychosis. The
therapy they describe has been validated in a well controlled
randomised trial showing that psychosis can be prevented, or at
least delayed, in a substantial majority of those at risk of
transition to psychosis."
--Professor Max Birchwood, Director, Early Intervention Service,
Northern Birmingham Mental Health Trust and University of
Birmingham
