Now 10 years old and out of date.,

This review is from: Understanding Schizophrenia: A Guide to the New Research on Causes and Treatment (Board book)
Publisher: Free Press; (May 6, 1994)I bought this back years ago and it was one of the best of the time when it was written. It is a little dry...written scholar to scholar, not for consumers or even families in my opinion. But its now totally out out date with regards to new antipsychotics as it only mentiones Clozaril and Risperdal. Missing Seroquel, Zyprexa, Geodon, Abilify and plenty more now being tested! Look at recommendations for another...this is past its prime.

comprehensive and illuminating,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Schizophrenia: A Guide to the New Research on Causes and Treatment (Board book)
I have started reading a few books on the subject, and this one complements the others. Positives/novelties include various experiences with the illness, told in form of stories, on different possibilities and courses of the illness for different people, and the human suffering, and comprehensive information on various aspects of the illness, and where to get help, etc. It provided answers to some of my specific questions such as the danger of violence from an ill person and how drugs may contribute to the illness, which I haven't found in other books.
