Schizophrenia is often associated with an inadequate response to
pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. How to treat
patients who have an unsatisfactory response to anti-psychotics,
including clozapine - which is unequivocally the most powerful
antipsychotic medication for this recalcitrant population - remains
a clinical conundrum. A range of adjunctive medications have been
tried with mixed results; there has also been renewed interest in
the role of neuromodulatory strategies, electroconvulsive therapy,
and cognitive and vocational approaches. Perhaps a bright spot for
the future lies in the evolution of pharmacogenetic approaches for
individualized care. In this book, leading experts from Europe,
Australia and the Americas provide a timely appraisal of treatments
for the most severely ill schizophrenia patients. This clinically
focused book is informed by the latest research on the neurobiology
and treatment of schizophrenia. It is comprehensive in scope,
covering current treatment options, various add-on approaches, and
a range of psychosocial treatments. The contributors are respected
experts who have combined their clinical experience with
cutting-edge research to provide readers with authoritative
information on fundamental aspects of clinical care for
schizophrenia.
