For the families of schizophrenics, fear, guilt, frustration,
and despair can become part of daily life. Several years ago the
authors of this volume established a program at the Clarke
Institute of Psychiatry in Toronto to help the families of
schizophrenics cope with the sometimes debilitating emotions they
typically experience. The first edition of "Living and Working with
Schizophrenia" grew out of that program. Published to international
acclaim in 1982, it offered practical advice and clear, accessible
information to those who suffer from schizophrenia, their
relatives, friends, teachers, and employers.
This edition has been completely updated and includes entirely
new sections and more case vignettes. The authors have expanded the
information on family education, counseling, and social issues,
addressing such topics as community organizations, adoption,
pregnancy, parenting, and sexuality.
From the medical perspective, the authors explore in detail
diagnosis and prognosis and describe the drugs used in the
treatment of schizophrenia, with information on their effects and
side-effects. The latest research is taken into account, and all is
explained in language readily understood by the lay reader.
