Psychosis· Psychosis: a loss of contact with reality
· Ability to perceive and respond to the environment significantly disturbed; functioning impaired
· Symptoms may include hallucinations (false sensory perceptions) and/or delusions (false beliefs)

Schizophrenia◦Individuals must show a deterioration in their work, social relations, and ability to care for themselves◦Six months or more

Schizophrenia◦Affects approximately 1 in 100 people in the world◦Financial & emotional costs: enormous◦Increased risk of suicide and physical – often fatal – illness

Schizophrenia·appears in all socioeconomic groups, but is found more frequently in the lower levels·“downward drift”
![Page 6: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Schizophrenia · average age of onset for ♂ is 23 years, compared to 27 years for ♀; book states = numbers; other sources ♂ > ♀
· Rates of diagnosis differ by marital status

The Clinical Picture◦symptoms, triggers, and course vary greatly◦Some argue: group of distinct disorders that share common features

Positive Symptoms
• Excess or distortion in normal repertoire of behavior and experience
Pathological excesses -
bizarre additions to a
person’s behavior

Course·usually first appears between late teens and mid-30s
·three phases:·Prodromal ·Active ·Residual

DIATHESIS STRESS MODEL:A Synthesis
Current thinking emphasizes interplay
Multiple genetic factors
Environmental factors

CAUSESTWIN STUDIES ADOPTION STUDIES
· The average concordance rate for MZ twins is 48%, whereas the comparable figure for DZ twins is 17%.
· Suggests strong genetic factors.
· Also compelling evidence for the importance of environment.
· Genain quadruplets
◦Genetic factors play role in development of the disorder (Heston).

Biological Views

Biological ViewsGenetic factors may lead to the development of schizophrenia through two kinds of (potentially inherited) biological abnormalities:◦Biochemical abnormalities◦Abnormal brain structure
![Page 20: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BIOLOGICAL CAUSESThe dopamine hypothesis Interactions of multiple
neurotransmitters
◦Focuses on the function of dopamine in the limbic area of the brain.◦Hypothesis grew out of attempts to understand how antipsychotic drugs improve adjustment.
◦Current research focuses many neurotransmitters:◦Dopamine◦Serotonin ◦Glutamate

Cytoarchitecture• Overall organization of cells in brain may be compromised
![Page 23: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Biological ViewsAbnormal brain structure
· enlarged ventricles · enlargement may be a sign of poor development or damage in related brain regions
· smaller temporal and frontal lobes, smaller amounts of grey matter, and abnormal blood flow to certain brain areas

Sociocultural Views· Social labeling
· Many sociocultural theorists believe that the features influenced by diagnosis itself· Society labels people who fail to conform to certain norms of behavior
· Once assigned, label becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy
· The dangers of social labeling have been well demonstrated· Example: Rosenhan’s 1973 “pseudo-patient” study
![Page 26: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sociocultural Views· Family dysfunctioning
· often linked to family stress:· Parents of people with the disorder often:
· Display more conflict· Have greater difficulty communicating · Are more critical of and overinvolved · Family theorists have long recognized that some families are high in “expressed emotion” – family members frequently express criticism and hostility and intrude on each other’s privacy
· Individuals who are trying to recover almost four times more likely to relapse if they live with such a family

Treatment: Antipsychotic Drugs◦the discovery of antipsychotic drugs in 1950s that revolutionized treatment for those suffering from schizophrenia
![Page 28: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
◦Have a relatively specific effect- reduce psychotic symptoms◦Work as dopamine antagonist◦Positive symptoms respond better than negative symptoms.
·reduce symptoms in at least 65% of patients

Motor Side Effects (parkinsonian symptoms)
○Extrapyramidal symptoms
○Tardive dyskinesia
![Page 30: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Second-Generation Antipsychotics○ Atypical antipsychotics○Work on both serotonin and dopamine○ Impact both positive and negative
symptoms○ Examples: Clozaril, Risperdal, Zyprexa,
Seroquel, Geodon, and Abilify
![Page 31: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Newer Antipsychotic Drugs· appear more effective than conventional antipsychotic drugs, especially for negative symptoms
· cause few extrapyramidal side effects and seem less likely to case tardive dyskinesia
· Some, however, do produce significant undesirable effects of their own
![Page 32: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
·Cognitive-behavioral therapy· Clinicians employ techniques that seek to change how individuals view and react to their hallucinatory experiences, including:· Provide education and evidence of the biological causes of hallucinations
· Challenge clients’ inaccurate ideas about the power of their hallucinations and delusions
![Page 33: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Family therapy◦Over 50% of persons recovering from schizophrenia and other severe disorder live with family members◦This creates significant family stress◦Those who live with relatives who display high levels of expressed emotion are at greater risk for relapse than those who live with more positive or supportive families
![Page 34: Chapter 12 - Schizophrenia](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681664c550346895dd9c971/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Family therapy◦Family therapy◦Family therapy attempts to create more realistic expectations and provide psychoeducation about the disorder

Social Therapy· Treatment should include techniques that address social and personal difficulties
· include: practical advice, problem solving, decision making, social skills training, medication management, employment counseling, financial assistance, and housing
