Our understanding of schizophrenia has advanced considerably over the last 10 years, particularly with regard to neurobiological and psychological factors. This book brings together disparate literature into an accessible resource.

This examination of cognitive therapy explains how the treatment can be applied to patients suffering delusions or paranoia. The opening chapters establish the theoretical reasons for extending cognitive therapy to these syndromes, while the rest of the text offers a therapy implementation guide.
