The Psychosis High-Risk State: A Comprehensive State-of-the-Art Review

TL;DR: The relatively new field of HR research in psychosis has the potential to shed light on the development of major psychotic disorders and to alter their course and provides a rationale for service provision to those in need of help who could not previously access it.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Social Functioning Scale. The development and validation of a new scale of social adjustment for use in family intervention programmes with schizophrenic patients.
