Summary:
In Schizophrenia: Innovations in Diagnosis and Treatment, Dr. Colin A. Ross-founder of the Colin A. Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma-presents a new theory outlining a previously unknown dissociative subtype of schizophrenia related to psychological trauma that can be treated with psychotherapy as opposed to medication. This book explores his concept, supported by an extensive bibliography, case studies, and numerous tables. This one-of-a-kind volume is a must-read for psychiatrists, psychologists, and other professionals involved in researching or treating schizophrenia. Its comprehensible text makes it useful for people with schizophrenia and their families as well.
