“This superb and highly accessible book shows how psychosis should be seen less as an illness than as a way of responding to difficulties and trauma in our early lives. It offers a destigmatizing and profoundly humane approach both to thinking about and working with psychosis, reminding us how so much of what tends to be seen as negative and incorrect behavior is in fact a creative solution that the psychotic subject has developed in order to find safety. Vanheule’s book will be an invaluable resource for anyone touched by psychosis, whether they are a patient, a family member, or a clinician.” —Darian Leader, author of Introducing Lacan
“Vanheule…is known for his constructive, in-depth research on the DSM and psychosis…With his familiar clear style, he succeeds in [comprehensively explaining psychosis to a wide audience].” —Tijdschrift voor Psychiatrie
“[Vanheule] dispels the myth that psychosis is best viewed through a purely biological lens.” —Sociaal.Net
