Foreword

Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders: Insights from ViewsAcross 100 years

Schizophrenia spectrum and related disorders such as schizoaffective and mood dis-orders, schizophreniform disorders, brief psychotic disorders, delusional and sharedpsychotic disorders, and personality (i.e., schizotypal, paranoid, and schizoid per-sonality) disorders are the most debilitating forms of mental illness, worldwide.There are 89,377 citations (including 10,760 reviews) related to “schizophrenia”and 2,118 (including 296 reviews) related to “schizophrenia spectrum” in PubMed(accessed on August 12, 2010).

The classification of these disorders, in particular, of schizophrenia, schizoaf-fective and mood disorders (referred to as functional psychoses), has been debatedfor decades, and its validity remains controversial. The limited success of geneticstudies of functional psyhoses has raised questions concerning the definition ofgenetically relevant phenotypes.

Many researchers around the world have investigated schizophrenia spectrum,and related disorders from the perspectives of diagnostics, early detection of psy-chotic disorders, genetics, neuroscience, prognosis, and treatment. Therefore, these

fields have considerably expanded with new findings that were obtained throughclinical and longitudinal observations and neuropsychological, neurophysiologi-cal, neuroimaging, neuroanatomical, neurochemical, molecular genetic, genomicand proteomic analyses, which have generated a necessity for syntheses across thefunctional psychoses.

The present three-volume handbook is a collection that continues to achieve mygoal of providing a comprehensive up-to-date state of the art overview of the lit-erature that addresses the challenges facing clinical and biological psychiatry. Thisseries follows four recently published books:

• Quality of Life Impairment in Schizophrenia, Mood and Anxiety Disorders. NewPerspectives on Research and Treatment. Ritsner, Michael S.; Awad, A. George(Eds.), Springer, 2007, 388p.

• Neuroactive Steroids in Brain Functions, and Mental Health. Novel Strategiesfor Research and Treatment. Ritsner, Michael S.; Weizman A. (Eds.), SpringerScience+Business Media, B.V., 2008. 559p.

• The Handbook of Neuropsychiatric Biomarkers, Endophenotypes, and Genes.Volumes I–IV. Ritsner, Michael S. (Ed.), Springer Science+Business Media, B.V.,2009.

Volume I: Neuropsychological Endophenotypes and Biomarkers. 231 pp.Volume II: Neuroanatomical and Neuroimaging Endophenotypes and

Biomarkers. 244 pp.Volume III: Metabolic and Peripheral Biomarkers. 231 pp.Volume IV: Molecular Genetic and Genomic Markers. 232 pp.

• Brain Protection in Schizophrenia, Mood and Cognitive Disorders. Ritsner,Michael S. (Ed.), Springer Science+Business Media, B.V., 2010. 663p.

This handbook offers a broad synthesis of current knowledge about schizophreniaspectrum and related disorders. It is based on methodological pluralism regard-ing psychiatric nosology and raises many controversial issues, and limitations ofcategorical nosology of functional psychoses covering the ongoing debate on keyconceptual issues that may be relevant for the development of DSM-V and ICD-11.

Reflecting the copious amount of new information provided, the handbook hasbeen divided into three volumes. Volume I contains 20 chapters and serves asan introduction and overview of theoretical issue, and neurobiological advances.The chapters in this volume review the schizophrenia construct, diagnosis andclassification of the schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and schizotypy concept;present proof-of-concept Multidimensional Continuum Model of functional psy-choses and evolutionary models of autism; new findings regarding neurode-velopmental, neurodegenerative, and neurochemical abnormalities; genetic andenvironmental influences; changes in gene expression; neurotransmitter activity;brain imaging and morphological abnormalities in subjects with schizophre-nia and other psychotic disorders, methamphetamine psychosis as a model forbiomarker discovery in schizophrenia and advances in proteomics. Our knowledge

of the genetics of schizophrenia and its borderlands is heavily indebted to theresearch and writings of Professor Irving Gottesman. The chapter that summa-rizes his contributions in that historical context is an invaluable contribution to thehandbook.

Volume II contains 19 chapters focusing on phenotypic and endophenotypicpresentations of schizophrenia spectrum and related disorders. The authors dis-cuss psychopathology, stress, social anxiety, neuropsychological, neurocognitiveand neurophysiological findings, endophenotype and neuroethological approaches,quality of life deficits, and risk for cancer morbidity and mortality. The authors alsoreview advances and challenges in mapping the prodromal phases of psychosis, inthe prediction and early detection of first-episode psychosis, early- and late-onsetschizophrenia, the longitudinal course of these disorders, as well as the interfaceof acute transient psychoses, the association of metacognition with neurocogni-tion and function in schizophrenia, neurophysiology of cognitive dysfunction inschizophrenia, schizo-obsessive states, and risk for cancer morbidity and mortalityin schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Volume III includes 18 chapters that provide a wealth of information regardingtreatment approaches, comorbidity, recovery, and outcomes of schizophrenia andspectrum disorders; in particular, recovery-based treatment approaches, antipsy-chotic and neuroprotective-based treatment; prevention and early interventionin at-risk states for developing psychosis, psychotherapy, cognitive remediation,cognitive behavior therapy; and interventions targeting social and vocational dys-function in schizophrenic spectrum disorders. Furthermore, therapeutic approachesto schizophrenia with medical illness, comorbid substance abuse, suicidality, impli-cations for treatment and community support, the relationship between religios-ity/spirituality and schizophrenia, and the ethical ramifications of biomarker usefor mood disorders are also reviewed and discussed.

Since many of the contributors to this handbook are internationally knownexperts, they not only provide up-to-date state of the art overviews, but also clarifysome of the ongoing controversies and future challenges and propose new insightsfor future research. The contents of these volumes have been carefully planned,organized, and edited. Of course, despite all the assistance provided by contributors,I alone remain responsible for the content of this handbook including any errorsor omissions which may remain. Similar to other publications contributed to bydiverse scholars from diverse orientations and academic backgrounds, differencesin approaches and opinions, as well as some overlap, are unavoidable.

This handbook is designed for use by a broad spectrum of readers includingpsychiatrists, neurologists, neuroscientists, endocrinologists, pharmacologists, psy-chologists, general practitioners, geriatricians, graduate students, and health careproviders in the fields of mental health. It is hoped that this book will also be auseful resource for the teaching of psychiatry, neurology, psychology and policymakers in the fields of mental health.

I would like to gratefully acknowledge all contributors from 16 countries(Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Ireland,Italy, Israel, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and USA)

for their excellent cooperation. I wish to thank Professor William T. Carpenter,distinguished psychiatrist, who was willing to write the afterword for this hand-book. I also wish to take this opportunity to thank the wonderful staff in my clinicaldepartment as well as in other departments in Shaar-Menashe Mental Health Center(Director – Dr. Alexander Grinshpoon) for their commitment, support, and cooper-ation. I would like to thank my wonderful and generous friends, particularly BorisAltshuler, Anatoly Polischuck, and Stella Lulinsky. They always took the time tolisten, even when I was just complaining. The support they have given me over theyears is the greatest gift anyone has ever given me. Finally, I thank Springer ScienceBusiness Media B.V. for the goodwill and publication of this book, particularly Mr.Peter Butler, and Dr. Martijn Roelandse, publishing editors, who did their utmost topromote this project and provided valuable assistance that made the book possible.

I sincerely hope that this handbook will further knowledge in the complex fieldof psychiatric disorders.
