Schizophrenie des Kindes- und Jugendalters

Childhood schizophrenia is a rare but clinically severe form of schizophrenia. Early childhood schizophrenia should be diagnosed as early as possible, also because of the unfavorable prognosis. The new book by schizophrenia expert Christan Eggers provides a comprehensive overview of the symptoms, the course of the disease and the prognosis of childhood and adolescent schizophrenia. Further focal points of the book are the presentation of thought and speech disorders in childhood schizophrenia, detailed differential diagnostic discussions (with case studies) and pre-morbid development, as well as early warning and precursor symptoms, mortality and the significance of post-psychotic personality and character changes. Also on the stigmatizations by the fellow world or the delinquency and forensic significance of childhood and adolescent schizophrenia.
