From Aaron T. Beck and colleagues, this is the definitive work on the cognitive model of schizophrenia and its treatment. The volume integrates cognitive-behavioral and biological knowledge into a comprehensive conceptual framework. It examines the origins, development, and maintenance of key symptom areas: delusions, hallucinations, negative symptoms, and formal thought disorder. Treatment chapters then offer concrete guidance for addressing each type of symptom, complete with case examples and session outlines. Anyone who treats or studies serious mental illness will find a new level of understanding together with theoretically and empirically grounded clinical techniques.

Answer :
I know the correct answers to every one of these questions from memory....because I attended lecture, read the material and made an attempt to retain it when I took abnormal psyc. I will not tell you because frankly you will not learn anything and will thus do a disservice to yourself and those who have done the work.

You will earn your grade as we have earned ours, and in so doing you will know.
