This fully revised second edition of Schizophrenia: The Positive
Perspective uses biographical sketches and essays to discuss
schizophrenia and related conditions, providing advice on methods
of coping, routes to growth, recovery and well-being, and how
schizophrenia can be viewed in a positive light. It also explores
the insights of R.D. Laing and discusses how they can be applied to
contemporary ideas and research.
In this expanded edition Peter Chadwick, a previous sufferer,
builds on his earlier edition and introduces new topics
including:
- Cannabis smoking and schizophrenia.
- Psychoanalytic approaches to psychosis and their extension into
the spiritual domain.
- Using cognitive behaviour therapy in the treatment of profound
existential distress.
- How experiences on the edge of madness can be relevant to
understanding reality.
Schizophrenia: The Positive Perspective encourages hope,
confidence and increased self-esteem in schizophrenia sufferers and
raises new questions about how schizophrenia should be evaluated.
It is important reading for anyone working with schizophrenic
people including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and
other mental health professionals.
