Download or read book Schizophrenia written by Arnold H. Buss and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven controversial approaches to schizophrenia, each assuming a distinctive model, biological, psychological, or social, are presented by their leading exponents. Arnold and Edith Buss deal with such fundamental issues as: What is the nature of schizophrenia? What general approach does each theory represent? What does each theory assume, what evidence does it require for proof, and what follows if the theory is correct? While the various approaches covered here have many differences and few similarities, they are not all mutually contradictory, and several may be combined into a larger synthesis. From a biological point of view, schizophrenia is a disease like any other, originating in heredity, tissue malformation, and physiological abnormality. The biological approach is represented here by a theory focusing on genetic and neurological aspects. The psychological approach treats schizophrenia as a failure of adjustment. Within this framework there is considerable disagreement. One theory emphasizes the cognitive problems of perceiving, thinking, and problem-solving; another centers on motivational disturbance, with its attendant problems of anxiety and withdrawal; and two theories focus on regressive behavior. Schizophrenia provides a stimulating basis for discussion by presenting the etiology of schizophrenia in terms of the most significant contemporary approaches. The juxtaposition of these viewpoints enables the professor to maximize students' interest as well as their insight into the complexity of contradictory evidence and opinions. Arnold H. Buss is professor of psychology at the University of Texas. He has taught at the Universities of Iowa and Pittsburgh and Rutgers University. His research publications include studies of anxiety, aggression, pain tolerance, stimulus generalization, and concept formation. He is author of ten books including The Psychology of Aggression, Psychopathology, and Personality: Evolutionary Heritage and Human Distinctiveness. Edith H. Buss was a research associate at the University of Texas and served in the same capacity at Carter Hospital, the University of Pittsburgh, and Rutgers University. She holds a master's degree in education from the University of Pittsburgh. She has conducted research with both normal and schizophrenic subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychodiagnosis in Schizophrenia is a reprint of a classic volume in assessment psychology that first appeared in 1966. The book concerns the use of psychodiagnostic techniques in the differential diagnosis of schizophrenia. The author first presents a conceptual analysis of schizophrenic disturbance in terms of impaired ego functioning and extrapolates from schizophrenic ego impairments to psychodiagnostic indices that have been demonstrated to assess them. In particular, Weiner refers to the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, the Rorschach Inkblot Method, and the Draw-A-Person test. Clinical and research data delineating the nature of psychological deficits in schizophrenia are reviewed, and practical guidelines for the clinical assessment of these deficits are presented. The author next considers several differential diagnostic possibilities frequently considered in the evaluation of schizophrenic persons, with separate chapters devoted to the many forms of schizophrenia, such as: acute, chronic, paranoid, nonparanoid, incipient, remitting, borderline and pseudoneurotic. There are also chapters that focus on schizoaffective disorder and adolescent schizophrenia. The conceptual and empirical contributions to these distinctions are reviewed; accordingly, the differentiating characteristics of these subcategories are related to parameters of psychodiagnostic test performance. In additon, the process of differential psychodiagnosis in schizophrenia is illustrated by detailed case studies. In an extended new preface, the author comments on current perspectives and contemporary literature related to the individual chapters of the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate brightness constancy in schizophrenic patients. Two schizophrenic groups, one chronic and one acute, and three control groups, non-schizophrenic psychiatric patients, hospitalized tuberculous patients, and normal volunteers from the hospital staff were used as subjects. The Brunswik and Thouless ratios were used as the index of constancy and matches were made by the subjects on a differential color mixer. It has been suggested that brightness constancy is really a special case of brightness contrast. This possibility was discussed and it was concluded that most brightness constancy effects can be accounted for by contrast mechanisms. However since it has been demonstrated that constancy can be obtained in situations where contrast is inoperable, it is very likely that there may be additional central mechanisms operating in constancy. It was further concluded that these mechanisms operating in brightness constancy are more primitive than those operating in size, shape, and distance constancies. Since many studies (e. g. Lovinger 1956, Weckowicz 1964) have reported reduced size, shape, and distance constancies in schizophrenic patients it was predicted that brightness constancy would also be reduced in schizophrenic illness. The results provided no confirmation for the prediction. Schizophrenic patients apparently do not differ significantly from control groups in brightness constancy. However the results do suggest responses of schizophrenic patients may be significantly more variable than controls in this situation. It was also found that schizophrenic patients tended to mix significantly more white color when making their matches of the standard and variable discs under the reduction screen condition. Possible causes of this unexpected behavior were considered. In the discussion of the results an attempt was made to explain the possible reason why brightness constancy is not affected in schizophrenic patients while size, shape, and distance constancies are reduced. After reviewing the pertinent evidence, it was suggested that brightness constancy is based on more primitive perceptual mechanisms than those in size, shape and distance constancies and therefore is not disturbed in schizophrenic illness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to accurately describe and diagnose psychiatric illness, practitioners require in-depth knowledge of the signs and symptoms of behavioral disorders. Descriptive Psychopathology provides a broad review of the psychopathology of psychiatric illness, beyond the limitations of the DSM and ICD criteria. Beginning with a discussion of the background to psychiatric classification, the authors explore the problems and limitations of current diagnostic systems. The following chapters then present the principles of psychiatric examination and diagnosis, described with accompanying patient vignettes and summary tables, and related to different diagnostic concerns. A thought-provoking conclusion proposes a restructuring of psychiatric classification based on the psychopathology literature and its validating data. Written for psychiatry and neurology residents, as well as clinical psychologists, it is invaluable to anyone who accepts the responsibility for the care of patients with behavioral syndromes.
