| Summary: | Examines how people with schizophrenia understand and respond to their world. The authors present a theoretical and clinical frame for better understanding this thought disorder, which commonly wreaks havoc on all areas of functioning. This volume brings together the work of psychologists from Great Britain, Australia, and the US who have developed and tested social cognitive models of schizophrenia. The authors demonstrate how this paradigm holds promise for bridging the gap between lab-based tasks and real-world behavior, and for shedding light on the development, course, and outcome of schizophrenia.
