Working well with schizophrenia.

I have been working with the chronic mentally ill for over 25 years. I was also utilizing my own form of cognitive therapy with schizophrenia prior to books like this one appearing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone working in the field. It is a practical and concise work to apply to one's therapy and dealings with such a serious cognitive disorder. The clinicians in England are making a difference in applying cognitive therapy or REBT with patients. It stands on all of our desks at the hospital.
