Summary

"Communication and the Mentally Ill Patient is a groundbreaking work which examines issues of communication and speech in schizophrenic patients and is the first collaboration between psychiatrists, linguists, psychologists and speech and language therapists. The contributors, both practitioners and academics, demonstrate the central role that communication and language plays in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of the mentally ill and highlights the need for closer links between the disciplines. Communication and the Mentally Ill Patient will stimulate much discussion across the fields and is valuable reading for professionals, academics and students in these subject areas."--BOOK JACKET.
