'I believe the book is of great interest to qualified psychiatrists and academic researchers, and may be of higher standard to psychiatric residents and medical students, and for its purpose, I believe it is a good buy.' Saudi Medical Journal

'The book is an authoritative source of information for researchers and clinicians who are seriously interested in learning about these ephemeral clinical states that challenge researchers and clinicians alike … it is a most welcome central source of information about the seminal research contributions form other continents … The authors have skillfully woven a beautiful tapestry with the research threads of various parts of the world.' Journal of Clinical Psychiatry

'The book is very well written and presented.' Quarterly Journal of Mental Health

Brief and acute psychotic disorders with a short duration and a generally good prognosis have long intrigued psychiatrists. Although they are included in internationally accepted diagnostic systems, understanding of these disorders remains minimal. This book is the first comprehensive overview of the clinical features, biology, course and long-term outcome of brief and acute psychoses. The authors review the world literature on the topic and they also present data from their own longitudinal study - the most complete investigation of this group of disorders so far conducted. The book concludes with considerations of the nosological status of brief and acute psychoses and their impact on our understanding of the continuum of psychotic and affective disorders.
