The Recognition and Management of Early Psychosis: A Preventive Approach

From our regular book review column.

Growing evidence suggests that early recognition and treatment of the schizophrenic psychoses may be of critical importance in the reduction of subsequent morbidity. The present volume, edited by McGorry and Jackson, presents a comprehensive review of the psychosocial literature relevant to detection and treatment of the schizophrenias, together with a description of a rehabilitation program designed to reduce subsequent schizophrenic morbidity.
