From the Back Cover
There is now a body of evidence suggesting that the occurrence and course of schizophrenia is affected by a variety of environmental factors. Examining environmental forces operating at the individual, domestic and broad societal levels, Richard Warner proposes feasible interventions such as
* education about obstetric risks
* marketing effective psychosocial treatments
* business enterprises set up to employ people with mental illness
* cognitive-behavioural therapy for psychosis
The Environment of Shizophrenia suggests practical ways to create a better world for those who suffer from this serious illness and for those who are close to them. It will prove fresh and stimulating reading for mental health service managers and policy makers, as well as psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.
