Schizophrenia: Through the Maze and Fighting Back by Georgina Wakefield

The author wrote this book to try to help others in a similar situation. This book is primarily to help carers to hold on to some hope through the very bleak years. She hopes it will encourage them to stand up for their rights and insist on the very best possible care for the sufferer. Like the first book, the author hopes that sufferers obtain some respect, and carers far more support.

She believes that professionals working in this field will find this book a valuable resource, giving them a far better insight. Much of their training is theory based, so perhaps this book will fill a little of the huge divide between theory and practice.

The author also hopes that the book will go someway to educating the general public; in our experience, we are still living in the dark ages. Carers will not feel able to speak out until this horrendous situation is addressed and attitudes change.
