Reviews the book, Juvenile-Onset Schizophrenia: Assessment, Neurobiology and Treatment by Robert L. Findling and S. Charles Schulz (eds.). The title of this book echoes the more familiar diagnosis of juvenile-onset diabetes and thus implies an illness different in cause and in course from one that begins in later adult years--an interesting speculation that is unfortunately not addressed in this book. The book reviews what is currently known about adolescent schizophrenia from various viewpoints. While different perspectives expand the landscape of knowledge, they make reading difficult. A single-authored book would have kept readers on a more trackable path with a clearer destination. As it stands, readers are left not knowing quite what to do with the information provided.
