Living with Schizophrenia

In the words of two individuals suffering from schizophrenia (Geiser and Emmons) this book gives first-hand insight into the process and effects of the disease. Throughout the narratives poetry and artwork Kaplan and Harrow (psychotherapists who have worked professionally with people with schizophrenia) add comments illuminating the meaning and psychological significance of the stories. This is the second book in the psychological disorders series each covering a single mental health disorder from the perspective of the sufferers themselves. It is written in a manner that will make the information accessible to family friends caretakers mental health workers and in this particular book those who actually have schizophrenia.
