Review Quotes:
"Shining new light on our traditional diagnostic framework for psychotic disorders, this collection of papers brings together authoritative and incisive views from around the globe. "Deconstructing Psychosis" represents just one step in the long path of DSM-V deliberations that began over a decade ago. This path may lead to greater validity of our diagnostic constructs through careful development of complementary categorical and dimensional representations of psychotic disorders as well as the integration of emerging knowledge from areas such as genetics, neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience."-- "Susan K. Schultz, M.D., University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Iowa City, Iowa"
