"This book belongs on the shelf of every neuropsychologist and of every other clinical professional involved with severe mental illness". - PsycCRITIQUES"This important new volume fills a major gap at the intersection of clinical neuropsychology and schizophrenia. The outstanding scholarly contributions by leading clinical scientists make this book is an instant 'go to' resource for current knowledge and insights into the complexities of working with schizophrenia. With foci on lifespan issues from early developmental impacts through old age, the impacts of medical, traumatic and substance use comorbidities, forensic implications and much more, anyone engaged in training or practice will benefit from this important new compendium."-Robert Bilder, Ph.D., Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles, USA"This book comprehensively addresses neuropsychological functioning in schizophrenia, ranging from neurobiological correlates to everyday functioning. There are some features that essentially no other book has, including forensic neuropsychological assessment in schizophrenia (particularly important given that most mental health inpatient treatment is now provided in correctional facilities) and the impact of traumatic brain injury in schizophrenia. Broad and comprehensive, this is an excellent book for a wide audience. The writing is accessible and the scholarship is excellent."-Philip D. Harvey, Ph.D., University of Miami, USA
