| Summary |
The scientific study of mental disorder is progressing rapidly because of new 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 with strong biological underpinnings that incorporates social and developmental data. Psychopathology: The Evolving Science of Mental Disorder combines varied fields of research to present a comprehensive picture of current research on psychosis. In this timely volume honoring Professor Philip Holzman, distinguished investigators present new findings from their laboratories, as well as perspectives on areas of rapid growth and change. The editors also provide thoughtful overviews of four major themes in psychopathology research: brain mechanisms, development, thinking, and genetics. This book will appeal to graduate students, clinicians, and researchers in the fields of psychiatry, cognitive science, and neuroscience |
