How can we better understand and treat those suffering from
schizophrenia and manic-depressive illnesses? This important new
book takes us into the world of those suffering from such
disorders. Using self-descriptions, its emphasis is not on how
mental health professional's view sufferers, but on how the
patients themselves experience their disorder. Central to the book
is the idea that schizophrenic persons live like disembodies
spirits or deanimated bodies. As disembodies spirits, they feel
like abstract entities that contemplate their own existence and the
world from outside. As deanimated bodies, schizophrenic people feel
deprived of the possibility of living personal experiences -
perceptions, thoughts, emotions - as their own. A new volume in the
International Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychiatry series,
this book will be of great interest to all those working with
sufferers from such disorders - helping them to better understand
their mental lives and providing important insights into how best
to treat them.
