Obra que detalla con gran pericia los datos que respaldan un innovador enfoque para subclasificar la esquizofrenia y otros trastornos psicóticos en base a las comorbilidades de ansiedad y depresión. Proporciona casos prácticos simulados, criterios diagnósticos del DSM-5, modelos de entrevista específicos para cada una de las cinco comorbilidades en pacientes con psicosis y opciones terapéuticas mejoradas. También se analizan las psicosis relacionadas con el consumo de sustancias, las enfermedades médicas y el tratamiento médico, así como otros factores que contribuyen a los trastornos psicóticos. Esta pionera obra de referencia, única en su área, es un recurso clínico, docente, de investigación y de formación, útil para psiquiatras, psicólogos, profesionales de enfermería, trabajadores sociales, neurólogos y cualquiera que esté interesado en la asistencia y el tratamiento de pacientes con trastornos psicóticos. La obra incluye ejemplos de entrevistas con los pacientes y/o purebas de laboratorio para cada diagnóstico. Detalla los síntomas, cuasipsicóticos y los signos secundarios de las comorbilidades, tanto cuando aparecen de forma aislada como asociados a psicosis. Subraya el significado específico de cada diagnóstico y los papeles contribuyentes de los neurotransmisores, la hipofrontalidad, los traumas psicológicos y la genética.
