Customer Reviews

very short, very good - Rated 4/5
This book describes the history, concepts, symptoms, importance, environmental and biological factors of schizophrenia. The authors included several boxes of illustrating cases, DSM-IV criteria, drawings of patients, newspaper fragments, ...

Schizophrenia is a terrible condition that can ruin people's lives and since there are a lot of misunderstandings it's important to read books like this to help to lift the stigma of mental illness and allow patients to recover. This book provides a clear and interesting overview of what schizophrenia really is about.

Although there is a brief chapter about drugs, a bit more information concerning the pharmacological, clinical and social aspects of antipsychotics would have made this book complete.


Excellent breadth and depth, perfect for people new to the subject - Rated 5/5
An excellent book for somebody like me who knew nothing about schizophrenia apart from the cliches and the bad taste jokes.

It covers all the bases- the history of the disorder, the different explanations that have been suggested for its cause, a variety of accounts from schizophrenics about how it feels, a fair amount of detail about the science of the brain under schizophrenia, modern day opinions about treating people with schizophrenia, and more.

All of this is perfectly well balance, clear and easy-to-read, and I found it to contain just the right amount of depth. An excellent, and short (not very short!) introduction.


A good introduction to the field - Rated 5/5
The book is an interesting read. I particularily liked the last chapter "The importance of Schizophrenia", which raises many intriguing questions on what we can learn from the schizophrenia. I would recommend it to someone who wants to know more about the disease (but not too much).


Recommended - Rated 5/5
A really interesting book giving a good overview of the condition. And as the book is quite small and compact it is not too off putting when you start to read!!!!
