Schizophrenia is widely considered the most severe and disabling
of the mental illnesses. Yet recent research has demonstrated that
many people afflicted with the disorderare able to recover to a
significant degree.
Living Outside Mental Illness demonstrates the importance of
listening to what people diagnosed with schizophrenia themselves
have to say about their struggle, and shows the dramatic effect
this approach can have on clinical practice and social policy. It
presents an in-depth investigation, based on a phenomenological
perspective, of experiences of illness and recovery as illuminated
by compelling first-person descriptions.
This volume forcefully makes the case for the utility of
qualitative methods in improving our understanding of the reasons
for the success or failure of mental health services. The research
has important clinical and policy implications, and will be of key
interest to those in psychology and the helping professions as well
as to people in recovery and their families.
