Functional psychoses, such as schizophrenia, have no known biological cause and are still classed as illnesses of unknown origin. As a result, the validity of their diagnostic categories depends on outside evidence, including course and outcome, biological and genetic findings, and the response to treatment.
The book discusses operational diagnostic criteria and the way a psychosis is defined through careful study of cases. It is written for readers who work with these diagnoses and want to understand the evidence behind them.
