Book description
In this cohesive, dramatic, and highly readable book, David Garfield
establishes a roadmap for the diagnosis and psychotherapeutic treatment
of psychotic disorders based on finding, understanding and reordering of
unbearable affect. He provides concrete clinical advice, vivid examples,
and crisp jargon-free descriptions of theoretical concepts and clinical
techniques. Most of all, he demonstrates that it is possible for
psychotic patients to take control of their conditions, rebuild family
relationships, and establish themselves in the viable productive lives
that they have long despaired of achieving.
