This review is from: 100 Questions & Answers About Schizophrenia (Paperback)

I work as a therapist in residential treatment for adolescent boys. Sometimes we treat teenagers with Schizophrenia. This book is clear and concise and arranged in topic areas, dispelling many misunderstandings about the disease.

My only caution is that there is a preface by a parent of a schizophrenic son. It is clear in its information and touching. However, the young man in question did commit suicide, which is a real and obvious risk with Shizophrenia. However, if you are passing this book on as a resource, I think it is best to have a discussion about this reality and use it with families who are ready to accept this reality and benefit from all the information included in the book.

This book contained all of the questions you could possibly have about schizophrenia. A bit technical, and may be a bit too academic for some, but I really got a lot out of it.

Dr. DeLisi's book consolidates a lot of meaningful information about schizophrenia in a user-friendly, readable way. It is an important guide for anyone who knows somebody with this devastating illness and is interested in learning more about it.
