Book chapters are authored by participants in the International Meeting on Staging Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Implications for Etiopathogenesis and Treatment, held in Mojacar (Almeria) Spain from 14-18 October 2009. Chapters are organized into four sections on themes encompassed by Staging Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Clinical Staging in the Pathophysiology of Psychotic and Affective Disorders, Staging Perspectives in Neurodevelopmental Aspects of Neuropsychiatry, Epigenetics and Biomarkers in the Staging of Neuropsychiatric Disorders, and Staging Neurodegenerative Disorders.
