Living Outside Mental Illness: Qualitative Studies of Recovery in Schizophrenia (Qualitative Studies in Psychology Series)
“Davidson’s book leaves one with an image of the inside of schizophrenia as essentially mysterious but the possibilities of recovery as hopeful if uncertain.”-Journal of Mental Health,“The book provides a window into the experiences of a person with schizophrenia . . . a rich narrative.”-The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease,“This volume makes the case for the utility of qualitative methods in improving our understanding of the reasons for the success or failure of mental health services.”-Family Therapy,“I see this book as an important accomplishment. It contains numerous helpful suggestions about how to go about eliciting narratives as a means of encouraging patients along their recovery journey.”-Psychiatric Services,“Davidson takes an interesting approach to the disorder and makes a compelling case for the use of person centered narratives to find out what is going on with recovery in persons with schizophrenia. Recommended.”-Choice,
