Schizophrenia and Related Syndromes by P Mckenna

Schizophrenia and Related Syndromes by P Mckenna

This book provides a wide-ranging, concise and critical account of schizophrenia suitable for psychiatrists, particularly those in training, and also for psychologists at both postgraduate and undergraduate levels. All aspects of research into the disorder are covered, as are related disorders including paranoia, schizoaffective psychosis, and schizophrenia in old age and childhood.

Although books on schizophrenia are ten a penny, this one is worth havingIt is the best British book I have read concerning the core abnormalities in schizophrenia. The descriptions of the cardinal symptoms are clear and memorable, and Dr McKenna provides an excellent account of phenomenology… the chapter on neuropsychology is exceptionally good and brings the complicated psychological theories of schizophrenia well into the grasp of almost all MRC Psych candidates and most examiners… This book gives a picture of a clinician who knows his subject and patients well. Those readers who work near Cambridge should send their most difficult schizophrenia patients to Dr McKenna; the rest of us must content ourselves with buying this book and applying his insights to our own patients.” – Professor Robin Murray, British Journal of Psychiatry

P. J. McKenna is a psychiatrist specialising in the treatment of schizophrenia and has published widely on the neuropsychology of schizophrenia. He has worked as both a clinician and academic and is currently Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Glasgow.
