Clinical Handbook of Schizophrenia

Acomprehensive overview of schizophrenia, covering its history, causes, assessment, and treatment. It explores various facets of the disorder, including biological and genetic risk factors, such as family history and neuroanatomical abnormalities, as well as environmental factors like immigrant status and substance use. A large portion of the text focuses on clinical management, detailing pharmacological interventions like antipsychotic medications (including clozapine and newer agents), psychosocial treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Social Skills Training (SST), and models of care like Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and strengths-based case management. Finally, the sources address special populations and problems—such as co-occurring substance use disorders, homelessness, medical comorbidities, and parenting—while also discussing policy, ethical concerns, and concepts of recovery and remission.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/pharmacy_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
