| Summary |
Annotation In part a tribute to psychologist Maher, these 16 chapters follow in spirit Maher's contention that a scientific, laboratory-based dissection of psychopathology can lead to significant insights into the nature of schizophrenia and related psychopathologies. Lenzenweger (psychology, State U. of New York at Binghamton) and Hooley (psychology, Harvard U.), after presenting an introductory chapter in which Maher reflects on the broad implications of his methodology, organize the material into sections that focus on schizophrenia as seen from the experimental psychopathology viewpoint, methodological challenges in probing schizophrenia, methodological advances in the study of psychopathology, and using temperament and cognition as leverage in psychopathology research.

Annotation This book celebrates the contributions of Brendan A. Maher to the development and emergence of experimental psychopathology as a subdiscipline of psychological science. Contributions provide rich examples of how the methods of experimental psychology and allied disciplines have been applied to the study of schizophrenia and other psychopathological conditions through a strong understanding of normative processes, genetics, and neuroscience. |
