I have been working with the chronic mentally ill for over 25 years. I was also utilizing my own form of cognitive therapy with schizophrenia prior to books like this one appearing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone working in the field. It is a practical and concise work to apply to one's therapy and dealings with such a serious cognitive disorder. The clinicians in England are making a difference in applying cognitive therapy or REBT with patients. It stands on all of our desks at the hospital.

An excellent source of information for any professional working with patients living with schizophrenia, emphasizing the importance of therapy for this population in adjunct to medical treatment. Various symptoms and their therapeutic management are discussed in an effective way, simplifying the underlying concepts for practical implementation. The importance of an individualized approach to patients in therapy is highlighted with hope for understanding each individual's personal journey and experience of the psychotic symptoms and adjustment to it. An important reading for anyone working with individuals with schizophrenia.

Browsing through this book, it seems to be very useful in my practice. I intend to use a lot of the techniques I have read about so far. Thanks!

Wonderful and very useful book! I think it will be useful not only when working with people suffering from schizophrenia, but when working with other mental disorders. In this book there are a lot of good examples and tips! Many thanks to the authors!
