Sommario/riassunto

Ce livre est issu d’un séminaire qui s’est tenu en janvier 2012 au Collège de France, à l’initiative du professeur Pierre Corvol et de la chaire de Médecine expérimentale dont il est le titulaire. Son sous-titre, « d’une approche populationnelle à une approche personnalisée », oppose de façon volontairement schématique la conduite d’une prévention « de masse », appliquée indistinctement à l’ensemble d’une population, à une prévention ciblée, personnalisée, « à la carte ». Celle-ci devient possible grâce à l’analyse des antécédents et des caractéristiques propres d’une personne donnée dans son environnement. Ce passage d’une prévention globale à une prévention individualisée répond aux désirs des médecins et des patients.  La prévention du risque en médecine est par essence multidisciplinaire. Elle fait appel aussi bien aux sciences fondamentales qu’aux sciences humaines et sociales, notamment l’économie, la démographie, l’anthropologie et la sociologie. Toute mesure de prévention implique au préalable une réflexion sur le but recherché, sur les moyens alloués et sur la stratégie à utiliser. Elle nécessite une estimation du rapport coût/bénéfice que l’on peut en attendre. Sa mise en œuvre est in fine une décision éminemment politique.

Sommario/riassunto

An international team of leading researchers and clinicians here provide a comprehensive, epidemiological overview of this multi-faceted and still perplexing disorder, and address some of the key questions it raises. How important in the genetic contribution to schizophrenia? Do pregnancy and birth complications increase the risk for schizophrenia? Is the incidence of schizophrenia changing? Why is the rate higher among immigrants and in those born in cities? Controversial issues such as the validity of discrete or dimensional classifications of schizophrenia and the continuum between psychosis and 'normality' are explored in depth, and separate chapters are devoted to topics of particular relevance to schizophrenia such as suicide, violence and substance abuse. Finally, new prospects for treatment and prevention are considered. Drawing together the findings from social, genetic, developmental and classical epidemiology of schizophrenia, this text will prove an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers.
