Recovery from Schizophrenia - Evidence, History, and Hope

Recovery from Schizophrenia describes two of the longest studies of schizophrenia and other psychoses, which found that one half to two thirds of even the most profoundly disabled people were able to reclaim their lives from the illness. The book features stories about patients finding their way, along with a brief history of the field of psychiatry as it struggled to understand these cases, and describes many successful recovery programs across the world.
