SEARCH FOR THE CAUSES OF SCHIZOPHRENIA KARTONIE...

This book comprises the conferences and discussions presented at the 4th sym­ posium on the
SEARCH FOR THE CAUSES OF SCHIZOPHRENIA  which took place in Guaruja  Brazil  November 1998.
This series of symposia started in 1986  on the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the
University of Heidelberg  followed by two others in 1989 and 1993. From these meeting resulted
three volumes that have been widely used as a reference for comprehensive reviews on the state
of the art in schizophrenia research. They reflect the progresses result­ ing from the most
relevant studies on the etiology of the disease. The spirit of the 4th Search for the Causes
remains the same: again we gathered some of the most prominent researchers on schizophrenia to
contrib­ ute not only with their own data  but also summing up the state of the art and the
perspectives in their areas of work. The topics covered in 6 parts are Epide­ miology  Risk
factors and antecedents  Genetics  Neuropathology and neuro­ chemistry  Brain imaging and
function  and Treatment and rehabilitation. In this 4th volume were introduced in each topic a
chapter on the Balance of the Cen­ tury  to summarize what did we learn (and what we did not)
in the last 100 years of schizophrenia research. We hope that this volume can help us to see
how far we are in the Search for the Causes of Schizophrenia and how much further we still have
to go before our problem can be solved.
