| Abstract: | Different research approaches to schizophrenia have evolved conflicting etiological theories, variously emphasizing genetic, biochemical, physiological, and psychological aspects, all reviewed in this volume. Included are considerations of prenatal environment (L.W. Sontag), psychological studies (C.L. Winder), anxiety and perception (P. McReynolds), social relations (J.A. Clausen and M.L. Kohn), and family roles (T. Lidz, S. Fleck, M. Bowen, and J.H. Weakland). M.J. Boatman and S.A. Szurek report a clinical study of childhood schizophrenia. In an introductory overview, D.D. Jackson discusses convergent approaches and theoretical implications. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved). |
