Malady of the mind : schizophrenia and the path to prevention / Jeffrey Lieberman. by Lieberman, Jeffrey A., 1948- Scribner, 2023, c2022. Call #: 616.898009 L716m Subjects Schizophrenia -- History.   Schizophrenia -- Treatment.   Schizophrenia -- Prevention.   Psychiatry -- History. ISBN:  9781982136420 (hc.) Edition:  1st Scribner hardcover ed. Description:  xii, 515 p. : ill., portraits, charts, tables ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes appendices, bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Of the many myths and misconceptions that have historically obscured our understanding of schizophrenia, the most pernicious is that there is no effective treatment. The reality couldn't be more different: the truth is that today's treatments have the potential to be game-changing -- and often lifesaving. In this rigorously researched, dramatic, and compelling biography, Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman tells the story of the past, present, and future of this historically dreaded, often disabling illness, describing how the complexity of the brain, the checkered history of psychiatric medicine, and centuries of stigma combined with misguided policies have impeded scientific and clinical progress. And yet, there is hope: by offering evidence-based treatments that combine medication with psychosocial services especially when introduced in the earliest stages of the illness, doctors are now able to treat schizophrenia and prevent its disabling effects. Thanks to decades of scientific work, the future is even more auspicious. The prospect of early detection and intervention before the onxet of psychosis, not only suppressing psychotic symptoms but also averting the outbreak of this illness, is on the horizon. A must-read for fans of psychological histories and anyone whose life had been affected by schizophrenia, this revelatory work offers a scientific history and comprehensive clinical portrait -- with crucial insights and hope for those afflicted."--Jacket.
