Product Description
Product Description
'The book will appeal to a variety of readers. The history of the illness, its diagnoses, epidemiology, demography, inheritance and environmental stresses would be of general interest. The anguished voices describing personal accounts of the symptoms would probably appeal more to non-professional readers, perhaps patients and their families...To a Psychiatrist, his description of genetic and environmental research is comprehensive...' - Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry 'His book is comprehensive, compassionate and easy to read.' - New Scientist
From the Author
Still timely and has inspired efforts in gene-finding.
Published at the end of 1991, the book has since been translated and accepted widely,in Japan and Germany, by both scientists and the families of the mentally ill. The book, with its emphasis on an interaction of genes and experience and environment, has inspired the recent efforts at identifying specific gene regions on a handfull of chromosomes using the latest techniques from molecular genetics. These successes put schizophrenia into the same class of complex human disorders as diabetes, coronary heart disease, and Alzheimer disease. Recent developments in this field can be pursued almost monthly in Nature-Genetics, Cell, and the American Journal of Medical Genetics (Neuropsychiatric Genetics).
