The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Schizophrenia

This book is comprehensive and well organized. Every time I thought I might want to know more about a particular subject, there was almost always a subsequent paragraph addressing that very concern. I would not recommend this as an introductory textbook by any means, but for those actively involved in treatment of schizophrenia and seeking a better understanding, there is a lot of useful information and data. This 2020 edition is a much-needed update as we have learned more about the disease since the first edition was published.
