| DESCRIPTION: Schizophrenia is the
example, par excellence, of a debilitating mental disorder, so much so
that its original name conveyed that its young victims lost their minds:
'de-mentia praecox'. Barham offers close analyses of schizophrenia and
illuminates his findings with a history of ideas about the syndrome.
"Should be read, not only by psychiatrists, but by all those many parents who have a schizophrenic son or daughter." Anthony Storr, The Sunday Times
