I have found this book to be essential in my work with persons diagnosed with schizophrenia. Written in a highly readable manner, this book shouts for the reform of a mental health system that more often than not ignores the individuals stricken with this disorder, while at the same time educating the reader about the illness, the biological bases for etiology, current treatments, and the services essential for not just the survival but the flourishing of persons with schizophrenia. Every practitioner who works with this population should have a copy of this book on their shelf.

Dr. E. Fuller Torrey is a writer like no other. His style is comprehensive, his ideas well developed, and his arguments clear. I've continued to read Dr. Torrey's studies, and each has been presented in the same way.
The nature v. nurture debate will forever rage on, and some people are set Freudians (as those before me) and won't try to understand a different argument. This book isn't for those people, people who've studied it and work with it in theory. This book is for the common consumer, family, or sufferer of schizophrenia. The common man who doesn't want a lot of psychobabble to understand what's going on in his mind or around him.
Dr. Torrey has devoted his life to the study of schizophrenia, and the public has devoted its trust to Dr. Torrey.

Another example of a book that espouses the biological myth of schizophrenia. While I appreciate mental health providers are "on the same side", I can not agree that schizophrenia is a biological disorder. I read this book while working in a group home with schizophrenic adults. We dispensed a great deal of medications to our residents. Their delusions, hallucinations and paranoia were only mildly reduced. The only instance of improvement I saw was when a resident underwent psychodynamic psychotherapy. The only body of literature that discusses full recovery from schizophrenia is produced by those who have worked with schizophrenics using psychotherapy. Torrey does not explain why delusions are grandiose. Why do some schizophrenics think they're God, Napoleon, or Satan? If it's biological, why not McDonalds workers or librarians or other regular folks. Because they do not suffer from a biological disorder. Why do their voices make terrible, vulgar statements? If it were a biological disorder it should not matter. I never hear a schizophrenic person say they hear positive, happy voices. Dr. Torrey's criticism of other therapies (namely psychodynamic) only proves his denial of the truth and unwillingness to be a true scientist and examine all sources of data. Despite Dr.Torrey's ridicule of Freud, Sullivan and others, the fact remains that an entire body of psychologists, social workers and some MDs have cured people with schizophrenia. Freud did not work with psychotic people, but he was the pioneer. Pioneers cannot discover everything in their one, short lifetime. Since Freud, there have been several authors of schizophrenia: Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, H.Guntrip, DW Winnicot, HS Sullivan, B Karon, Mme Sechaheye(sp?), etc.. Belief in Dr. Torry's book will only further the suffering of Schizophrenics and their families by denying the truth.
