Tsuang, Ming T., 1931- RC514.E24 2004 616.89'8205--dc21 2003014324 PREFACE The primaryg oals of schizophreniar esearcha ret o understandt he causes of the disordera ndt o attenuatei ts symptoms.A dvancesi n diagnosis andt reatmenth ave produceds ignificantp rogresst owardt hese aims, but there are still many hurdles to clearb efore the biological, genetic, and environmentale tiologies of the illness are understoodf ully. Similarly,m uchw orki s neededt o alleviate the residuala nd positive symptomsa ssociatedw ith schizophrenia.O ne importantc onsequenceo f our progress to date combines our understandingo f the etiology of the disorder with ouru nderstandingo f treatmento ptions. Therei s a clearc onsensust hatb etter outcomes are associated with earlieri nitiationo f treatment. In fact, if a list of "holyg rails"c ould be identifiedi n schizophreniar esearch,n one would rankh ighert hant he developmento f strategiesa imed at preventingt he onset of the disorder.P reventioni tself, however, is a multidimensionalc oncept, and our currentd istancef rom the grail dependso n which dimensioni s the focus of attention. Althoughp rimaryp reventionr emainsf urthero ff on the horizon, early intervention for psychosis andt he developmento f psychosis (i.e., the prodrome)a re active areas of investigation.O ne of the most significanti mpedimentst o bothe arlyi ntervention and preventionr esearchi s thatw e do not yet know what the liability to schizophre- nia looks like. We do not know who will develop the disordera nd who will not. As a result, we do not know who should receive treatmentb efore theirc linical symp- toms become overt. This becomes more evident as the distance from psychosis increases. Prodromals ymptoms,w hich are a targeto f many currentm odels of early intervention,a re often nonspecific for schizophrenia.P roblems that may precede prodromals ymptoms, such as negative symptoms, are even less clearly points on a trajectoryt o psychosis, as aret he absenceo f clinical symptomso ro thera bnormali- ties (e.g., neuropsychological,p sychophysiological,o r neurobiologicald eficits) in individuals with one or more risk factors for schizophrenici llness, such as those with a family history of the disorder,p regnancy,o r obstetricc omplications. Fortunately,t he situation is improving. High-risk longitudinal studies and family studies now identify a range of likely clinical, biological, cognitive, and social problems in relatives of patients with schizophreniat hat may represent liability/vulnerabilityf actors. A recent reformulationo f Paul Meehl's concept of schizotaxia supportst he view that one or more liability syndromesm ight be identifieda nd validated.T herei s also growing attentiont o the naturea nd delin- eation of the prodrome.B ecause interesti n the preventiono f schizophreniai s high, and characterizationo f liability syndromesh as the potentialt o move pre- v vi Preface vention researchf orward, the time seems right for a volume on prevention in schizophrenia. Early Clinical Interventiona nd Prevention of Schizophrenia focuses on the status of preventionr esearchw ithin the broaderc ontext of our currentk nowledge of the causes and early treatmentso f schizophrenia,w ith the goal of determining how early we can intervene in schizophrenic illness. To accomplisht his aim, we invited experts working in the field to contributec hap- ters in the frameworko f four majors ections. We also emphasizedo ur reformu- lation of schizotaxiat o substantiatet he notion thatt he liability to schizophrenia often manifests itself with meaningful clinical, neuropsychological,s ocial, and neurobiologicalc oncomitants. The first section reviews the origins of schizophrenia.I n ordert o develop rational interventions,i t is crucialt o understandw hatc auses the illness and how it develops. Thus, this section focuses on the genetic (Steve Faraone and colleagues), early environmenta(l SarnoffM ednicka ndc olleagues), andn eurodevelopmenta(lS tefano Marencoa nd Daniel Weinberger)d eterminantso f schizophrenia. With this frameworki n mind, the second section characterizesc urrentv iews of the vulnerabilityt o schizophrenia.I n particular,i t explores the natureo f the liability from several dimensions, including the prodrome( Jaak Rakfeldt and Thomas McGlashan)a nd our proposedp re-prodromasl yndromeo f schizotaxia (Steve Faraonea nd colleagues). More specific manifestationso f schizotaxia- used here in a generic sense to describe the liability to schizophrenia-include cognitive deficits in high-riskp opulations( Allan Mirsky and Connie Duncan) and in adult, nonpsychotic, biological relatives of patients with schizophrenia (William Kremen and AnneH off), socioemotional deficits (Elaine Walkera nd Karen Hochman), neuroanatomicala bnormalities (Larry Seidman and col- leagues), and neurophysiological deficits (Marina Myles-Worsley). Finally, Robin Murraya nd colleagues review several of the dimensions consideredi n previous chapterst o determinew hethers chizophreniai s actually predictable. The most importantv alue of characterizingt he liability to develop schizo- phreniai nvolves, arguably,t he identificationo f treatment/interventionta rgets. In this light, the thirds ection addressesi ssues of early interventiona nd preven- tion more directly. Following a discussion of conceptual and methodological considerationsn ecessary for the design and implementationo f preventionp ro- tocols (HendricksB rowna nd Steve Faraone),t he focus turnst o protocolsf or the treatmento f schizotaxia (Ming Tsuang and colleagues), prodromals ymptoms (BarbaraC ornblatta nd colleagues), and issues related to genetic counseling (Debby Tsuang and colleagues). Finally, the last section looks ahead to the nearf utureo f preventionr esearch from two vantage points. One involves representativen eurochemicala reas that are relevantf or schizotaxiar esearch,b ut are in need of additionali nvestigation Preface Vll (William Stone and colleagues), and the othere xplores the prospectso f molecu- lar biology for advancing the goals of preventiona nd early intervention( Will Carpentera nd James Koenig). Early Clinical Interventiona nd Prevention of Schizophrenia explores the multidimensionaln atureo fthe liability to schizophrenia,o ften in the absence of psychosis or even a schizophrenia-relatedc linical diagnosis. Although prodro- mal or psychotic symptomsa re alreadyt argetso f active investigations,i t is clear thatp re-prodromailn terventionb asedo n clinical symptomso r cognitive deficits remainsp remature.Y et, as many of the authorsi n this volume demonstrate,t he field is at the point of mapping strategies and validating interventiont argets. Together with currente fforts to attenuatep rodromala nd incipient psychotic symptoms, these developments bring us closer to the thresholdo f prevention studies. It is hoped thatt he multidimensionala nd interdisciplinary descriptioonf these efforts will benefit everyone interestedi n the preventiono f schizophrenia, and moreb roadly,a nyone interestedi n the preventiono f majorm entald isorders.
