Schizophrenia
I am a mental health talk-therapist (a Licensed Clinical Social Worker- LCSW) who has lived with schizophrenia for 25+ years. I wrote two books on living with schizophrenia. Both books combine clinical and lived experience perspectives. My first book, published in 2019, is titled “On Conquering Schizophrenia; From the Desk of a Therapist and Survivor; With Purview on Metaphysics, Philosophy, and Theology”. I call it “OCS” for short! OCS is philosophical. My second book, published in 2021, is “The Essential Schizophrenia Companion; With Foreword by Elyn R Saks, PhD, JD”. I call it “TESC” for short. TESC was my mission to provide others what I deem to be the absolute crucial essentials one should know regarding schizophrenia. Dr Elyn Saks wrote the foreword to TESC. If you do not know Dr Saks, google her and you will find her legend! I remain most grateful for her gracious contribution! Regarding any and all matters schizophrenia, I am always seeking collaboration with others promoting recovery in schizophrenia! But as for now, I hope you are well, creative, and inspired! Assuredly, together, we will conquer schizophrenia! —Robert Francis, LCSW #schizophreniabooks #hiddenvalleyroad #thecentercannothold #psychologybooks #bookclub
