The scientific study of mental disorder is exciting today because
of discoveries in molecular genetics, cognitive processes,
neurochemistry and neuroanatomy. The study of mental disorder has
evolved from a primarily descriptive discipline into a mature
science that encompasses both biological underpinnings and social
and developmental work. Psychopathology combines these fields of
research to present a comprehensive picture of psychosis. In this
important volume, distinguished investigators from these fields
present findings from their laboratories, as well as perspectives
on areas of rapid growth and change. The editors also provide
thoughtful overviews of four major topics in psychopathology
research: brain mechanisms, thinking, development and genetics.
This book will appeal to graduate students, clinicians and
researchers in the fields of psychiatry, cognitive science and
neuroscience.
