This text is easily read and tends towards practical advice. There are any nuber of comprehensive texts, however this book covers the personal aspects of dealing with a disease with an gargantuan effect. Any one who has to deal with this disease would be well advised to purchase a copy.

My Father and my brother have Schizphrenia. I've read several books over the years and I can tell you that this book really opened my eyes and heart and let me know what they have gone through. It's easy to read and not long or boring...I bought a book for each member of the family. Awesome Book!!!
