  • Title: Schizophrenia in children: a review of European research.
    Author: Tsiantis J, Macri I, Maratos O.
    Journal: Schizophr Bull; 1986; 12(1):101-19. PubMed ID: 3961423.
    Abstract:
    European literature on childhood schizophrenia is divergent and vast. The topic itself is controversial and complex. The article reviews selected European literature on childhood schizophrenia and presents the most important trends of research from the literature. Extensive work has been devoted in tracing and defining the boundaries of childhood schizophrenia from infantile psychosis, autism, organic psychoses, and borderline states, and of mapping out the condition. The factor of development as an important variable when studying diagnostic criteria and the course of the condition was singled out by many researchers. The evidence from the research on etiological factors was also reviewed, and most authors seem to agree on a nature-nurture interaction model. The different treatment modalities and approaches are also presented and discussed. Finally, a proposal is made for comparative studies to be carried out that will cover course and followup.
