Review
“An excellent case for a rather novel and very humanistic formulation of ‘schizophrenia’ is made…I would recommend colleagues to buy this book.” (Psychological Medicine, Vol.35, 2005)
From the Back Cover
In this groundbreaking and innovative book, Chris Harrop and Peter Trower outline a whole new way of understanding schizophrenia. Controversially, they argue that symptoms seen as psychosis can be linked to the typical psychological development of adolescence and, in particular, to problems constructing an independent, adult self.
This unique psychological account of schizophrenia, written in accessible language, offers insights and practical therapeutic techniques that will be of value to young people with this problem, their families and anyone working with adolescents.
For therapists and all those working in mental health services, particularly those interested in early intervention, this book is essential reading.
‘… a valuable contribution to what remains one of the most problematical issues for health providers, receivers and researchers.’ Dr Paul Patterson
‘… what Peter and Chris have to say is controversial, but I suspect this work will be regarded in time to come as "trail-blaz ing".’ Professor Max Birchwood
