Content:
In this book, contributors provide examples of how the methods of experimental psychology and allied disciplines have been applied to the study of schizophrenia and other conditions through a strong understanding of normative processes, genetics, and neuroscience. In the opening chapter, B. A. Maher discusses his view of the formation of delusional thought and the methodological approach he has taken in studying this area. Maher's influence is examined throughout the book, as contributors explore schizophrenia and other disorders from alternative methodological viewpoints. Several current research programs are discussed, including one that explores models of vocational support programs for helping individuals with severe mental disorders find and maintain work. This book will be a resource for scholars and graduate students who are committed to psychological science as a laboratory-based discipline that has real-world implications.
