January 27, 2024"Practical" in the title means that the book is aimed at practitioners in a broad sense: not only MDs and psychologists but anyone who might have a personal or professional interest in correctly identifying and dealing with persons suffering from schizophrenia.
Because the book and even the individual 19 chapters are mostly self-contained, it and they can also be used as a reference for practical challenges and situations.
The author exhibits a curious love of first-letter mnemnonics. This gets old after a while and may not always provide adequate structure to master the broad outlines of a subject (seriously? the '10 Cs' of optimal prescribing?)
I consider myself an absolute layman and found the book very readable and instructive. Each chapter has its own list of references, although I confess that I did not check these out.
