Surviving Schizophrenia, 7Th Edition: A Family Manual

This book will go a long way to the parents, caregivers, spouses of schizophrenia patients in understanding nature of the disease, and how to sail in life on their own.

Good and useful

Excellent book. Very well written. But the author believes only in western medications. He doesn't believe in alternate healing methods. He seems too much believer of chemical imbalance theory. There is so much research going on about the dangerous effects of psychiatric medications. He doesn't believe in any of these. He believes that psychiatrists are correct and medications are the only way.

Reading this book gives a feel as though the author himself is sitting before us and explaining in simple terms everything about schizophrenia. Worth every penny.

This book was very helpful to me .It helps me to understand every action , every move , every activity of caretaker . I could understand him easily his problems his behaviour easily This book helps refrain me to fall into trap of misunderstanding caretaker . I could look after him and understand his situation easily after reading This book It help me to be calm during this difficult phase as I know it was the outcome of disease

This is a good reference book for anybody who or his family member is suffering from schizophrenia. This disease has many symtoms/forms and it is good to be aware of them as due to this disease one gets delusions/hallucinations and the patient confuses with reality. Schizophrenia is culture/location specific and some of the tips or issues discussed may not be relevant in other countries like India. This book has given me knowledge about the disease which we may not find on internet. It is a good purchase.

Get it today. Will help you in tonnes.

I've read several editions of this book over the years, alongside many other books on the subject (especially from the UK and Germany). To me, it continues to be one of the best books for anyone who has a close friend or relative living with schizophrenia. I find the chapter describing symptoms particularly outstanding, very sensitive and brilliantly presenting what it might be like for the person who's ill. Quite a few chapters focus on the US-system of healthcare etc., and are less relevant to me personally.

I listened to this book on Audible. Loved it so much I wanted my hard copy to use as a reference guide for my whole family. It is packed full with information and is more positive and supportive. Totally worthwhile.

Ótimo livro! Ainda estou no começo, mas é muito bom e esclarecer, é como se eu estivesse dentro da mente do meu filho!!

The best book on schizophrenia on the market.

Thorough & insightful. This wonderfully written book should be mandatory reading for every individual who supports the needs of psychologically challenged clients & family members under their care.
