How to Become a Schizophrenic: The Case Against Biological Psychiatry - Paperback

by John Modrow (Author), Bertram P. Karon Ph. D. (Foreword by)

"...demonstrates the physical, psychological, and social harm resulting from the label schizophrenic and the continuous need to reexamine the underpinnings and attitudes of psychiatry."

"Of all the books written about schizophrenia...none is more comprehensive, accurate, thorough, and clearer in style and statement than John Modrow's classic How to Become a Schizophrenic. Modrow, who is a recovered schizophrenic and is, perhaps, the unrecognized and unappreciated world's foremost authority on this disorder, has performed a truly invaluable service and has made the major contribution to our understanding of the causes and cures of this pseudodisease."

"One of the best things I've read on the subject...I am struck by the richness of the ideas and the research and the soundness of the conclusions."

"...a very important contribution to the field."

"...well researched and easily readable (a difficult combination to achieve)!"

"...meticulously challenges all the major research that claims that schizophrenia is a biological disorder."

"Before reading the book, I was largely convinced that schizophrenia was primarily a brain disease. Modrow has forced me to take a second look, however, and reconsider the psychological causes of the condition."

"...it is ennobling that despite bad and discouraging treatment he was able to understand himself and others, and share that acquired knowledge in an accurate and helpful way."

"...gives clear proof that there's real hope. Truly a remarkable book!"
