The purpose of this book
is twofold. First, it is hoped that a candid discussion of the
disease, the suffering that is inflicted on those with the disease
by a mostly uncaring society and an explanation of what
schizophrenia is and how the treatment of its victims can be
improved will advance our appreciation of the problem. Second, it is
intended that this book will provide information and comfort to the
families of the victims and hopefully empower them in their
struggle. It can also be used for families to give to friends and
other family members in order to help them understand and to help to
dispel the myths about serious mental illness they might
have.
Recommended as "a good book - worth a read" by the World Fellowship for Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders
