This unique book offers a methodical exploration of biological, social, and ethical topics on the treatment (or lack thereof) of psychotic brain disease. Part I provides an empirical engagement with neuroscience and covers the neurobiology and pharmacology of schizophrenia, providing the reader with a current understanding of the disease. Topic areas include anosognosia, community treatments, and early intervention. Part II looks at international policy approaches to schizophrenia featuring topics such as the policy, funding, and historical elements contributing to frequently misguided approaches to severe brain disease, and it explains why some societies won't/can't support human beings with psychotic disease. Part III focuses on neuroethics and asks: 'What is right?' through chapters discussing the concepts of consciousness and free will, as well as the principles of nonmaleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice. Collectively the comprehensive approach of this book allows the reader to gain a full understanding of the ethical and clinical complexities in treating schizophrenia.
