Hey everyone - I just read “A road back from schizophrenia” by Arnhild Lauveng, which I thought was excellent. Which books did you find more helpful than others?

Hugs,

Amy

The best book I have read is Surviving Schizophrenia by E. Fuller Torrey MD. If is factual, so packed with information and a hands on resource you will use over and over again. Hope you will read through the scientific part in the beginning, the explanations is worth the time spent.

I just read “The Quiet Room”; sort of like the book “Road back from SZ” but a bit better to understand how she tackled voices +++
