This fully revised second edition of Schizophrenia: The Positive Perspective uses biographical sketches and essays to discuss schizophrenia and related conditions, providing advice on methods of coping, routes to growth, recovery and well-being, and how schizophrenia can be viewed in a positive light. It also explores the insights of R.D. Laing and discusses how they can be applied to contemporary ideas and research.
In this expanded edition Peter Chadwick, a previous sufferer, builds on his earlier edition and introduces new topics including:
Schizophrenia: The Positive Perspective encourages hope, confidence and increased self-esteem in schizophrenia sufferers and raises new questions about how schizophrenia should be evaluated. It is important reading for anyone working with schizophrenic people including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other mental health professionals.

"This excellent book is written by a psychologist who has experience psychosis. His own case history and that of others should be essential reading for both trainees and graduates in the Mental Health Field. The Accounts and the Commentaries will be a useful resource for all teachers and students who are interested in countering reductionistic tendencies in the understanding and therapy of mental illness" – Brian Martindale, Consultant Psychiatrist, Early Intervention in Psychosis Service, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Trust
"Peter's writings have, to my mind, been some of the most moving and inspirational in the field of mental health." - Jerome Carson
