Schizophrenia has become a recognized psychotic disorder in modern day psychology and research has shown that one in 100 people suffer from this disease in some proportion or degree. It is a dreaded disease and comes as a near death blow to those who are diagnosed with this condition. This fear does not necessarily arise from the scary disease it actually is, but various misconceptions, myths, and misunderstanding that surround it. This disorder has been very thoroughly misunderstood and misrepresented.

Pete Earley had no idea. He'd been a journalist for over 30 years, and the author of several award-winning, even best-selling, nonfiction books about crime and punishment and society. Yet he'd always been on the outside looking in. He had no idea what it was like to be on the inside looking out until his son, Mike, was declared mentally ill, and Earley was thrown headlong into the maze of contradictions, disparities, and catch-22s that is America's mental health system.

From her early 30's until her early 60's, Barbara Hawkins lived cloistered in her family home in suburban Chicago, a prisoner of undiagnosed mental illness. Hearing voices and paralyzed with fear, she was never evaluated, never treated, and refused to leave the house. After Schizophrenia is the story of Barb's descent into severe mental illness and the healing that has come only in recent years: after her parents' death, when her sister, Margaret, became her guardian. With uncanny grace and humor, Margaret chronicles her family's struggle with Barb's mental illness.

I Am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help! is not just a reference for mental health practitioners or law enforcement professionals. It is a must-have guide for family members whose loved ones are battling mental illness. Listen and learn as have hundreds of thousands of others...to LEAP - listen, empathize, agree, and partner - and help your patients and loved ones accept the treatment they need.

A different and seemingly more effective approach
This book outlines a different and seemingly more effective approach to treatment of mental illness. You will better learn the thoughts of the person whom you are trying to help (tormenting) and learn why the traditional approach is futile. Then Dr. Amadaor teaches you how to make his whole program work for you and your loved ones so you can pick up the pieces and move on with your lives. By focusing on common goals and listening reflectively (as opposed to reactively) you can start to put the pieces of your lives back together again. These are principles founded in emotional intelligence and winning other people over to your way of thinking. When you've tried everything else, try this!

INVALUABLE
As an aunty living with and looking after a 22-year old niece with bipolar disorder, I find this book to be a MUST READ/LISTEN for anyone who has a family member or friend wth schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
All of the things you think you know about communicating DO NOT APPLY and you will frustrate yourself (and damage your relationship with your loved one) if you don't take the time to arm yourself with the proper tools. This book offers those very tools. I am so excited to begin having these conversations with my niece. That's something I haven't quite felt since she got sick and we went down this rabbit hole...

Great Information
Dr. Amador gives incredible insight into what is going on in the minds of those that may be struggling in life with various challenges. While the book is written specifically in relation to those with mental illness, the communication techniques used and taught by Dr. Amador completely apply to any individual wanting to communicate with anyone and everyone. I have used several of his tips in dealing with my children, husband, coworkers and friends and have found conversations going much smoother, particularly when discussing something challenging. I have even explained them to my husband, so he can start using them as well. It does take time and commitment to get the desired results. If you put in the effort, the results will be what you're hoping for. No longer do I fly off the handle and scream or use sarcasm to get result. And, an added benifit is that my relationships are stronger and better. These are techniques I hope to use forever.

I wanted to try audible via the free trial offered. Boy, am I glad I did! I realized only after buying the physical book that audible is not providing the entire “story” (pun intended). There are 20 chapters in the physical book yet only 15 on the audible version. I feel quite gypped! Causes one to wonder if they condense all their books.

A Context for Communication
Dr. Xavier Amador thinks people suffering psychosis may experience anosognosia caused by a deficit in brain function related to their disease. It is this deficit which makes them unable to believe they are sick and need treatment. This book is based on his years of clinical experience. In it he provides the reader with a framework for communicating with our "loved ones" who are experiencing psychosis and helping them to accept treatment.
While no panacea Dr Amador's framework for communication provides a structured practise for those of us seeking to understand and aid a "loved one" experiencing psychotic illness and refusing treatment.
