extremely helpful strategies for coping with Schizophrenia  
Reviewer: A reader from Jerusalem, Israel
"Extremely helpful strategies for coping with Schizophrenia in the family. As a Social Work student in Jerusalem doing an internship with a population suffering from Schizophrenia, I found this book provided excellent strategies for the families who must cope with acute or cronic attacks of Schizophrenia within their families. It also provides concise, up to date information and research on causes and treatments of Schizophrenia. I was also impressed with the organization and clarity of the presentation providing a wealth of information and coping strategies in a simple and easy to understand way. I highly recommend this book for the therapist and layman alike."

Understanding Schizophrenia : A Guide to the New Research on Causes and Treatment by Richard S.E. Keefe, Philip D. Harvey "Two noted researchers provide an accessible, timely guide to schizophrenia, discussing the nature of the disease, recent advances in understanding brain structure and function, and the latest psychological and drug treatments."

"Positives/novelties include various experiences with the illness, told in form of stories, on different possibilities and courses of the illness for different people, and the human suffering, and comprehensive information on various aspects of the illness, and where to get help, etc. It provided answers to some of my specific questions such as the danger of violence from an ill person and how drugs may contribute to the illness, which I haven't found in other books."
