Updated throughout and filled with all the latest research, the bestselling Surviving Schizophrenia is back, now in its sixth edition. Since its first publication in 1983, Surviving Schizophrenia has become the standard reference book on the disease and has helped thousands of patients, their families, and mental health professionals. In clear language, this much-praised and important book describes the nature, causes, symptoms, treatment, and course of schizophrenia and also explores living with it from both the patient's and the family's point of view. This new, completely updated sixth edition includes the latest research findings on what causes the disease, as well as information about the newest drugs for treatment, and answers the questions most often asked by families, consumers, and providers.… (más)
If you think that everything before 1975 is bad—with that layer of, ‘God is the non-existent force of hatred and foolishness’— and you’re interested in schizophrenia, then this is the book for you.
It’s not really about schizophrenia though; it’s about anger. How is it that Freud can be automatically wrong about everything, even though we too believe in expressing anger until it somehow goes away? I don’t know, but just ask the scientist of seething anger. He’ll be sure to know.
I know that if you pick up this book you probably share lots of his assumptions so you’ll tune out what I’m saying, but in a way that’s the funniest thing of all. Isn’t assuming that you can’t solve your problems (except maybe by buying something) and dedicating yourself to watching TV something that the plebs do?
Edit: And I do read a lot of secular psychology; most of them don’t think it’s their business to be bitter, to return evil for evil like a true politician, etc.
.... He really has a gift, you know. History inevitably gets better, but started getting worse in 1900; before 1975, we didn’t value the family; academic 60s radicals weren’t intellectual enough, and certainly weren’t loyal enough to the radical left. (Which explains why they weren’t the perfect Superman type.) Gotta send those fools to Siberia, where they belong.
I know I probably sound angry. Makes you sound stupid, don’t you think?
