Book presents the various subtypes of schizophrenia: simple, undifferentiated, paranoid, catatonic and schizo-affective. It describes the anti-psychiatry model, as well as the medical model, the diathesis-stress model and sociological model. Because schizophrenics have a tendency to overreact to environmental stimuli, they resultantly tend to underreact by withdrawing from social interaction.

This documentary focuses on patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and family members. Examines pros and cons of the use of neuroleptic drugs in treatment and the legal issues involved. Includes interviews with physicians, scientists, social workers and politicians.

Another brilliant examination and criticism of biological psychiatry by Dr. Valenstien, a neuroscientist, who very articulately explains exactly why it is that neuroleptics should NOT be used to treat schizophrenia.

Excellent, well presented reasons for NOT prescribing psychoactive drugs and for NOT taking prescribed drugs. It is all a scam by a group of politicians, drug lobbyists and unscrupulous psychiatrists to pick the patient's pocket, while keeping him/her brain dead.

Mr. Whitaker painstakingly exposes the fraud of psychiatric medicine -- the danger of treating mere diagnosed psychological states of mind as a 'disease.' He explains the economics and subterranean politics involved between pharmaceutical corporation lobbyists, Congress, the FDA and psychiatrists.

Another edition of Laing's essay. Perhaps one of the best essays ever written on the subject of psychiatry and politics.

A man, released from a mentl hospital, returns to his hometown in England to piece together his past -- his traumatic childhood.

Ed Gein was convicted of killing several townsfolk -- all women. He was adjudged insane - as suffering from schizophrenia. While his neighbors were out bagging deer, Eddie was out bagging the dear womenfolk they left behind. The conflicting values conveyed to him by his parents and others are exposed in this excellent film. Steve Railsback plays Ed.

Another option, lower price. It should be emphasized that, while the 'schizophrenic man' depicted in this movie is characterized as being tormented by disturbing memories and delusions, he is also tormented and confused by the double-bind communication established by his mom.
