5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and insightful support for families, Mar 6 2002
This review is from: Coping with Schizophrenia: A Guide for Families (Paperback)
I ordered this book because I wanted to learn more about schizophrenia. My brother (11 months younger than I am) showed evidence of schizophrenia in his late teens but it took several years to get a correct diagnosis. He's now in his 40s, and is better off than most people with his affliction. Still, the illness makes life stressful and difficult for everyone in the family.

This book is very easy to read and understand and offers some very good practical advice for families who have a member with schizophrenia. It's an excellent resource. I had promised to mail it to my sister-in-law but I think I'll be keeping it as a reference and ordering her a copy she can keep.

I highly recommend this book to any family afflicted with this illness. Even if you have been dealing with it for decades like we have, it provides some very useful insights. I think it will help us cope with the next part of my brother's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars extremely helpful strategies for coping with Schizophrenia, Aug 27 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Coping with Schizophrenia: A Guide for Families (Paperback)
Extremely helpful strategies for coping with Schizophrenia in the family. As a Social Work student in Jerusalem doing an internship with a population suffering from Schizophrenia, I found this book provided excellent strategies for the families who must cope with acute or cronic attacks of Schizophrenia within their families. It also provides concise, up to date information and research on causes and treatments of Schizophrenia. I was also impressed with the organization and clarity of the presentation providing a wealth of information and coping strategies in a simple and easy to understand way. I highly recommend this book for the therapist and layman alike.
