Recenzii
"In these days of multi-author, interactive, downloadable, upgradeable data-dumps, it is an almost unique pleasure to sit down and take in a coherent piece of scholarship like this book. Gradually an epic story unfolds. It is a mystery, a tragedy, and not without its comedy. It is wholly satisfying and yet leaves you wanting more." - Anthony David, Institute of Psychiatry, UK
"If descriptive psychiatry has gained a renewed sense of respect in recent years it owes it to books like this, which present a scholarly and sceptical piece of scientific knowledge while giving readers the sense of a novel in schizophrenia literature by unfolding the mystery of this disorder... In particular, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists as well as the trainees in these professions can use this book as a comprehensive guide to the world of schizophrenia." - Patapia-Maria Tzotzoli, Journal of Mental Health, Vol. 17, No. 3, June 2008
