520    "This brilliant portait of schizophrenia-the most 
       malignant and least understood mental illness-by renowned 
       psychiatrist Jeffrey Lieberman, Chair of Columbia's 
       legendary Psychiatry department, interweaves cultural and 
       scientific history with dramatic patient portraits and 
       clinical experiences to impart a revolutionary message of 
       hope: that for the first time in human history, 
       schizophrenia can not just be effectively treated, but 
       even prevented. Of the many myths and misconceptions that 
       have historically obscured our understanding of 
       schizophrenia, the most pernicious is that there is no 
       effective treatment or cure. 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, deeply compelling biography of
       schizophrenia, Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman draws on his four-
       decade career to tell the story of the past, present, and 
       future of this historically dreaded, often disabling 
       illness. From his vantage point at the pinnacle of 
       academic psychiatry, informed by extensive research 
       experience and clinical care of thousands of patients, Dr.
       Lieberman describes how the complexity of the brain, the 
       checkered history of psychiatric medicine, and centuries 
       of stigma combined with misguided legislation and health 
       care policies have impeded scientific and clinical 
       progress. And yet, there is hope: by offering evidence-
       based treatments that combine medication with psychosocial
       services, doctors are now able to effectively treat 
       schizophrenia. Even more auspiciously, early detection and
       intervention before the onset of psychotic symptoms can-
       thanks to decades of scientific work-not only suppress 
       symptoms but also effectively prevent the outbreak of this
       disorder. A must-read for fans of psychological histories 
       and anyone whose life has been affected by schizophrenia, 
       this revelatory work offers a comprehensive scientific 
       portrait, crucial insights, and, most importantly, hope 
       for those afflicted"--|cProvided by publisher.
