Summary: One of the Best!
Comment: I have to say that, when it comes to describing schizophrenia and it's repercussions, this is one of the best! I've only run into one other book that shows the disease in a thorough and accurate light.
This book covers everything from description to diagnosis to treatment to suicide and other behaviors. Easy to read and fascinating, this book would be a welcome addition to anyone's psychology library. HIGHLY recommended! :o)

Summary: The best general book about schizophrenia
Comment: This is an excellent, comprehensive book about schizophrenia that is a must read for anyone interested in the illness. Dr. Torrey is very good at writing about complex scientific subjects and this book is no exception. The book is also organized in an intuitive, straightforward manner. It will be equally useful for the afflicted, their family members, and caretakers (including doctors and therapists). Highly recommended. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".

Summary: Madness
Comment: Torrey is psychiatry's Torquemada. There is no limit to the "scientific" tortures that he supports applying to unwilling to heretics labeled "schizophrenic." There are a couple of dicey problems. The people so labeled rarely believe themselves to be sick, and there is no biological test that can demonstrate that they are so. The "schizophrenics" act in ways that bother other people, and professionals like Torrey become influential and wealthy by diagnosing and "treating" them (against their will). The pseudoscience that Torrey promotes in this book has been thoroughly debunked by Thomas Szasz and others. (It was Szasz who wryly noted, "If you talk to God, you are praying, If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.") This book should actually be titled, "How to be rid of odd and unpopular people."
