Popis: Larry Davidson, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Yale, has written an excellent book about the core factors that help people recover from schizophrenia. He has fascinating and significant things to say about the subjective experience of struggling with this illness, as well as useful and creative observations about the recovery process. He makes these points lucidly and cogently, and he succeeds in forming a warm, personable relationship with the reader. I suspect he has a similar talent for engaging people who are recovering from schizophrenia. His book is the tenth in a series by the same publisher on “Qualitative Studies in Psychology.” Only the second book in this series lacks a subtitle. Perhaps the proliferation of book subtitles after the colon subliminally reflects the current academic interest in post–colonialism. Davidson’s book is the first in this series to deal with schizophrenia.
