"I am delighted to bring to the attention of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals across the world the work reflected in this book, as I am convinced that these approaches with their humanistic core have much to offer for upgrading person-centered clinical care for people experiencing psychoses."- Professor Juan E. Mezzich, M.D., Ph.D., President of the World Psychiatric Association"A wonderful book that should be read by all professionals that deal with schizophrenia! As a necessary counterweight to the current biology-dominated and drug-centred practice, it offers an almost complete anthology of the worldwide developments of truly integrative psycho-socio-biological approaches and their psychotherapeutic consequences on the individual, familial and socio-environmental level." - Luc Ciompi, Professor Emeritus of Social Psychiatry, University of Basel, Switzerland"The editors should be lauded for compiling an excellent anthology of articles by numerous international experts, providing a wonderfully comprehensive view of the history, methodology, and implementation of psychotherapeutic interventions for schizophrenia. The primary goals of realizing the importance of an integrated treatment program and the use of various psychological modalities to provide a more humanistic approach for treatment of patients with schizophrenia have been well conveyed." - Michael Makhinson and John Tsuang, Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, April 2011
