One of the Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I'm a social worker in the mental health field. I found this book 18 years ago and I still recommend it to family members to help them understand schizophrenia. It's easy to read and has good sound advice on how to help your loved one.
A Must-Read For Those Interested In Schizophrenia
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Whether you're an individual who has been diagnosed with this disease, you know someone who has this condition or you work with those in the mental health field, this book is a wonderful asset to have in your library!Of all the books I've read on this subject (and there are many), this is by far the most descriptive and in-depth informative book in this genre. Covering everything from stigma, to the effects of schizophrenia on a home/family, to causes, myths, and misconceptions and much more, this book will help you understand how to deal with the situation and move on to a more fulfilling life. Housing, work, social life, money, medication, heredity, and state involuntary committment laws, all paint a thorough picture on this sad and difficult state. Easy to read, thorough, honest, and well worth the small price, this book comes highly recommended. :v)

Having worked with patients that have schizophrenia and their families for the past 11 years, I have found Ms. Walsh's book to be one of the most understandable, direct and helpful books available. I have been recommending it for years and will continue to do so.
