| Summary: | This timely volume explores the range of personality traits and psychosocial deficits which are associated with the broadly defined construct of schizotypy. Describing schizotypy as a phenomenon that can be located on a continuum ranging from sub-clinical states to severe disorders, the editors have brought together experts in this field to discuss approaches to assessment, conceptualization, and treatment. This volume aims to provide a unique and clinically oriented perspective on schizotypy as a feature of personality and psychopathology. Krueger - University of Minnesota, USA In this thoughtful edited volume, Cheli and Lysaker build on these foundations by bringing together leaders in the field of schizotypy, personality and schizophrenia with the goal of translating complex research findings into practical, useful and clinically relevant information. They succeed in this goal with masterful integration of the research and clinical literature highlighting transdiagnostic processes central to the human experience such as metacognition, mentalizing, attachment, self- and interpersonal criticism that can be targeted in treatment. Carla Sharp - University of Houston, USA “A Dimensional Approach to Schizotypy” includes contributions from a number of researchers at the forefront of psychopathology and psychiatric nosology. The editors provide us with a 30,000-foot view of current-day schizotypy, accompanied by fascinating clinical theory and an updated discussion of transdiagnostic clinical implications. These chapters also include important new information on unique cultural perspectives, encouraging better representation of global populations, critical for the generalizability and public health impact of our research. Anna Docherty - University of Utah School of Medicine, USA. An essential resource for professionals, researchers, and academics the reader will gain knowledge of: Underlying maladaptive traits that can emerge as schizotypy Dimensional and transdiagnostic approaches to psychopathology Relationship to metacognition, mentalizing, attachment, self-criticism and interpersonal criticism This remarkable book brings together many influential scholars under the general rubric of dimensional approaches to schizotypy and can thereby serve as a real boon to both scientists and practitioners. Coverage of the current literature is extensive, and goes well beyond schizotypy research per se. Indeed, focal research on schizotypy as a psychopathological phenomenon is covered thoroughly yet is only one aspect of a much more comprehensive volume. Robert F. |
