Schizophrenia and addiction

By Daniela Stimpfl

The book "Schizophrenia and Addiction" is dedicated to the analysis, classification and further development of treatment approaches for people with dual diagnoses - the simultaneous illness of schizophrenia and a substance-related disorder. Traditional care concepts usually treat both disorders separately, which leads to misdiagnoses, inadequate treatment decisions and unstable disease progression. This book presents integrated, interdisciplinary approaches that combine psychiatric, addiction therapy, nursing and social work perspectives. It highlights the central role of psychiatric care, relapse prevention, therapeutic communities and the involvement of relatives. Methodologically, the book is based on qualitative interviews with professionals and case studies. The aim is to highlight gaps in care, provide practical recommendations for action and provide impetus for sustainable, patient-centered treatment for people with schizophrenia and addiction.
