This fully revised second edition of Schizophrenia: The Positive Perspective uses biographical sketches and essays to discuss schizophrenia and related conditions, providing advice on methods of coping, routes to growth, recovery and well-being, and how schizophrenia can be viewed in a positive light.

In this expanded edition Peter Chadwick, a previous sufferer, builds on his earlier edition and introduces new topics including:

• Cannabis smoking and schizophrenia.
• Psychoanalytic approaches to psychosis and their extension into the spiritual domain.
• Using cognitive behaviour therapy in the treatment of profound existential distress.
