Clinicians have to rely on their own experience, which is often limited, when faced with several delicate diagnostic and treatment issues. This book aims to approach for the first time in a comprehensive way this emerging area of clinical psychiatry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The World Health Organisation has found that mental disorders such as depression and psychosis rank in the top 10 of leading causes of disability in the world, creating a significant social, emotional and economic burden for young people, their families and society. Early detection of these potentially disabling disorders and treatment at the time of initial onset can greatly improve long-term outcomes and effect dramatic cost-savings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The related Birchwood title has sold nearly 2300 copies and is popular at psychiatry conferences. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From an R\u0026amp;D perspective, industry have a stake in this area. Obviously, if biomarkers or other prodromal evidence can be determined in various disorders, then drugs will start to be dispensed earlier. The topic has increased in popularity as a subject for satellite symposia e.g Jeffrey Lieberman chaired the Bristol Myers Squibb symposia at the American Psychiatric Association. This dealt with early intervention in schizophrenia and the need for novel approaches in the prodromal phase. In addition, more symposia (and research) look at disorders \"across the lifespan.\" This phrase indicates an approach to research, diagnosis and treatment from a more quality-of-life vantage and early diagnosis is part of this movement.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Prodromal Symptoms and Early Detection of Schizophrenia 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHeinz Ha¨fner and Kurt Maurer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 The Management of Early Psychosis 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePatrick McGorry, Jane Edwards and Alison Yung\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Children of Persons with Schizophrenia: An Overview of Empirical Research 111\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAllan F.
