A radically different , and much needed approach to understanding the 'psychotic' experiences. This books brings a humane as well as a much more science informed (which doesn't mean a medical model ) approach to the whole topic and is an essential reading for all involved !

I admit I only read what interested me, not everything, but it's a good, non-judgemental book. It doesn't want to normalize the reader and is very honest, allowing you to learn things about yourself while reading it without forcing ideas on you or telling you that you "should" do this or that.
The author recognize agency of a person over their life and body is important and shows you that you have many options.
It also explain some study findings here and there, in context with the chapters.
I didn't feel stigmatized by the author. I found it easy to read but there might be too much text for some other people.
