Publisher's Synopsis
One in ten schizophrenic patients commit suicide. Few are able to function in a competitive environment. Most families have to bear high emotional and financial burdens due to the illness. In 1986 a major conference took place, focusing exclusively on research into schizophrenia. At that meeting the clinical and basic research in pharmacology, brain imaging, neurochemistry, movement disorders, psychophysiology and epidemiology were all covered. It is a valuable source of information into the subject, and will be especially useful for those wishing to see where such research is leading.
