About this book

This book summarizes scientific advances in our understanding of the interrelationship between obsessive-compulsive symptoms and schizophrenia and reflects on the implications for future research directions. In addition, guidelines are provided on practical assessment, diagnosis and treatment interventions, covering both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. The book acknowledges the need for a perspective that recognizes heterogeneous subgroups and diverse neurobiological explanations; accordingly, multidimensional research-based conceptual frameworks are provided that incorporate recent epidemiological, neurocognitive, neurogenetic and pharmacodynamic findings. Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms in Schizophrenia has been written by an international team of experts who offer insights gained through their extensive experience. It will be an invaluable guide to this frequent and clinically important comorbidity and will be particularly useful for mental health practitioners.

Reviews

“The Obsessive-Compulsive disorders in Schizophrenia is written by the leading international experts and it provides a reader with systematic approach to the obsessive compulsive symptoms in schizophrenia and related disorders. … Overall, it is a valuable tool for every mental health practitioner dealing with schizophrenia patients with comorbid OCD.” (Vivian Badžim, Alcoholism and Psychiatry Research, Vol. 52, 2016)

“The editors and chapter authors have produced a wonderful review of the contemporary research and clinical applications in this area. The intended audience is psychiatrists, psychologists, and researchers in neuroscience as well as any professionals interested in the overlap of these phenomena. … This absorbing book summarizes the current literature on OCS in schizophrenia. I am unaware of any other books on this topic and this one is well worth the read.” (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2015)
