Reviews
'I felt it a privilege to share in the thinking of great minds in this field. The book both stands on its own as a rich compendium of the latest knowledge in the field and offers an invitation to think in new ways.' Patricia E. Murphy, Rush University Medical Center
'... provides a much-needed counterbalance to the current biochemical zeitgeist in psychopathology research. ... Each of the chapters provides a well-written overview of some of the many social factors associated with receiving psychotic diagnoses. ... a refreshing alternative to traditional views of psychosis.' PsycCritiques
'... an excellent attempt to summarize the current understanding of the social aspects of schizophrenia with regard to its aetiology, course and outcome.' Psychological Medicine
