Media Reviews
Although books on schizophrenia are ten a penny, this one is worth having. It is the best British book I have read concerning the core abnormalities in schizophrenia. The descriptions of the cardinal symptoms are clear and memorable, and Dr McKenna provides an excellent account of phenomenology... the chapter on neuropsychology is exceptionally good and brings the complicated psychological theories of schizophrenia well into the grasp of almost all MRC Psych candidates and most examiners... This book gives a picture of a clinician who knows his subject and patients well. Those readers who work near Cambridge should send their most difficult schizophrenia patients to Dr McKenna; the rest of us must content ourselves with buying this book and applying his insights to our own patients. - Professor Robin Murray, British Journal of Psychiatry
