Schizophrenia in childhood and adolescence

A loss of reality, a distortion of the relationship to oneself and to the outside world. That and much more is schizophrenia. Unfortunately, this mental disorder does not only affect adults, but also children. It is the diagnosis of schizophrenia in childhood and adolescence that is one of the most serious. Unique publication of doc. MUDr. Eva Malé, CSc. Schizophrenia in Childhood and Adolescence charts this severe illness in detail and provides many examples from practice. The book looks at schizophrenia from the perspective of child and adolescent psychiatry and focuses on the diagnosis, classification and treatment of the disease (pharmacotherapy, insulin therapy, psychotherapy).
