To share our experience in treatment which over the past 46 years has illustrated that there is hope even for the most severely regressed person with schizophrenia. To expose those who are considered to be treatment resistant to an atmosphere of hope and a treatment model that considers the healthy parts of the individual as the important focus. To bring about change as a result of a strong positive relationship between the individuals who participate in treatment, the patient and the treatment team.
Poor treatment is a result of inadequate professionals.
Most psychiatrists cannot separate themselves from the medical model while most psychologists avoid individuals with schizophrenia because they are either not interested or not trained in that area. In my experience with Schizophrenia a new world of delusions were created in order to survive. Not only did I need to survive I needed to divert my attention by creating a different language.
