This is the first book to address the clinical and neurobiological interface between schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). There is growing evidence that obsessive-compulsive symptoms in schizophrenia are prevalent, persistent and characterized by a distinct pattern of familial inheritance, neurocognitive deficits and brain activation. This text provides guidelines for differential diagnosis of schizophrenic patients with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and patients with primary OCD alongside poor insight, psychotic features or schizotypal personality. Written by a leading expert in the coexistence of obsessive-compulsive and schizophrenic phenomena, Schizo-Obsessive Disorder uses numerous case studies to present diagnostic guidelines and to describe a recommended treatment algorithm, demystifying this complex disorder and aiding its effective management. The book is essential reading for psychiatrists, neurologists and the wider range of multidisciplinary mental health practitioners.

How much do you know about Schizophrenia? Have you seen what goes on in the mind of a person afflicted with this disorder? There have been countless documentaries about the subject and articles written about the nature of this devastating illness. It is generally taboo to let those afflicted speak out for themselves. This book will give you an inside look into a schizophrenic mind. To read the words and feel the anguish, the pain and the suffering that goes on in their daily lives. The things they see can be terrifying. I have been invited to publish this on behalf of the author as it had been sent to me unsolicited. More manifestos have come. They appear in my e-mail inbox for me to publish. Delving into these minds is dangerous. You must keep your safety locks on. You must keep the paranoia from overwhelming you. While most of these manifestos contain incoherent ramblings, there are touches of dead-on humor, flashes of brilliance and scary societal observations. Just remember, it''s all in your head.

Jamie Bingham Walsh should have been known as Schizo Jimmie. People with whom he came in really close contact had their minds split and started to live in dream worlds.

Gedichte – mehr als entweder Poesiealbum oder unverständliche Moderne?Es wird Sprachexperimente geben, es wird Lockeres oder auch reflektierend-ernste Werke. Aber immer geht es poetisch zu.Und manchmal geht es auch um den Kern – die Wahrheit über das Menschsein.Es wird schon praktiziert, aber ich gebe dem Ganzen einen Namen. Das Mischen von Stilen MITTEN im Gedicht nenne ich "SchizoStil". Und der Grund ist, dass wir so AussageReinheit anstreben, nicht stur "StilPersil".Es geht um hybride Formen. Sich durch die Geschichte der Gedichte zu wälzen heißt, unzählige Liebesgedichte zu lesen – bis einem davon schlecht wird. Da wurde doch wirklich schon alles gesagt – und sehr gut!Deswegen hat mein "SchizoStil" ein relativ striktes LiebesErklärungsGedicht-Verbot. Es gibt – weiß Gott (ja, er/sie/es weiß es) - genug andere Themen.

Op de grootste kermis van Antwerpen, de Sinksenfoor, wordt een lijk gevonden. Agenten Fien en Tom vinden het vooral verontrustend dat de moord “ondertekend” is: de dader heeft een S als handtekening achtergelaten. En dan valt een tweede slachtoffer. Wat Fien en Tom niet kunnen vermoeden, is dat zij persoonlijk betrokken zullen worden bij de zaak. Het verleden van Tom en Fiens vriend blijkt de sleutels tot de zaak. “Schizo” gebruikt personages uit de Vlaamse tv-serie “Zone stad” (VTM, 2003-2013), maar het verhaal zelf is nieuw. Bavo Dhooge presenteert hier veel meer dan het zoveelste seriemoordenaarsverhaal. Zijn scenario neemt onverwachte bochten; misdaad en motief veranderen meerdere keren van gedaante. “Schizo” is Dhooges eerste roman met de “Zone Stad”-personages; in totaal schreef hij er 3. Reeks van 3 romans, gebaseerd op de personages uit de Vlaamse tv-serie \"Zone Stad\".

Denna bok är ett dokument över hur skört livet är men också hur allt kan bli så rätt. Det blir ett sätt för mig att göra avslut med mitt gamla liv men också en hyllning till de liv som slocknade mitt framför mina ögon och de människor som såg att det fanns något som levde bakom all destruktivitet och som tog fasta på det som levde i mig istället för att bara se mig som en till jobbig självskadetjej. Under 20 års tid hade jag diagnosen schizofreni och den blev bara värre och värre och byggdes på bit för bit. Myndigheterna hade till slut gett upp hoppet om mig och jag var dömd att dö på alla vårdhem jag vistades på för de hade inte råd att bygga ett tryggt boende åt mig. Men jag trotsade alla odds och överlevde och när jag var 40 fick jag rätt diagnos: atypisk autism och med det kom också ett sätt att se på mig som inte var lika hårdhänt längre. Jag vill med denna bok ingjuta hopp i alla dem som är kvar i en maktlöshet som jag förut satt fast i.

A deep analysis of an enigmatic artist whose oeuvre opens new spaces for understanding feminism, the body, and identityPopular and pioneering as a conceptual artist, Rosemarie Trockel has never before been examined at length in a dedicated book. This volume fills that gap while articulating a new interpretation of feminist theory and bodily identity based around the idea of schizogenesis central to Trockel’s work.Schizogenesis is a fission-like form of asexual reproduction in which new organisms are created but no original is left behind. Author Katherine Guinness applies it in surprising and insightful ways to the career of an artist who has continually reimagined herself and her artistic vision. Drawing on the philosophies of feminists such as Simone de Beauvoir, Shulamith Firestone, and Monique Wittig, Guinness argues that Trockel’s varied output of painting, fabric, sculpture, film, and performance is best seen as opening a space that is peculiarly feminist yet not contained by dominant articulations of feminism. Utilizing a wide range of historical and popular knowledge-from Baader Meinhof to Pinocchio, poodles, NASA, and Brecht-Katherine Guinness gives us the associative and ever-branching readings that Trockel’s art requires. With a spirit for pursuing the surprising and the obscure, Guinness delves deep into a creator who is largely seen as an enigma, revealing Trockel as a thinker who challenges and transforms the possibilities of bodily representation and identity.

Eugene W. Holland provides an excellent introduction to Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's Anti-Oedipus which is widely recognized as one of the most influential texts in philosophy to have appeared in the last thirty years.He lucidly presents the theoretical concerns behind Anti-Oedipus and explores with clarity the diverse influences of Marx, Freud, Nietzsche and Kant on the development of Deleuze & Guattari's thinking. He also examines the wider implications of their work in revitalizing Marxism, environmentalism, feminism and cultural studies.
