A Dimensional Approach to Schizotypy: Conceptualization and Treatment

Cheli, Simone; Lysaker, Paul H.

This timely volume explores the range of personality traits and psychosocial deficits which are associated with the broadly defined construct of schizotypy. Describing schizotypy as a phenomenon that can be located on a continuum ranging from sub-clinical states to severe disorders, the editors have brought together experts in this field to discuss approaches to assessment, conceptualization, and treatment. This volume aims to provide a unique and clinically oriented perspective on schizotypy as a feature of personality and psychopathology. An essential resource for professionals, researchers, and academics the reader will gain knowledge of:

• Underlying maladaptive traits that can emerge as schizotypy
• Dimensional and transdiagnostic approaches to psychopathology
• Relationship to metacognition, mentalizing, attachment, self-criticism and interpersonal criticism
