Reviews for Juvenile-Onset Schizophrenia: Assessment, Neurobiology, and Treatment
A substantial breadth of material is well presented on state-of-the-art clinical care and cutting-edge science. Psychiatric Services 2006 I have enjoyed reading it and will undoubtedly use it... I would recommend this to practising clinicians who, even if infrequently, see patients with early-onset schizophrenia.
