Over this time, he has taken antipsychotic medication uninterrupted. Despite schizophrenia, Robert has worked as a talk-therapist (a Licensed Clinical Social Worker- aka LCSW) since 2006 and he currently practices in a nursing home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn many ways, Robert believes his diagnosis has bettered his capacity as a clinical social worker. Robert details his history with his recurring episodic psychoses. Robert has experienced the full spectrum of schizophrenia symptoms including delusions, auditory hallucinations, and mood disturbances, mixed with a sense of humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite Robert's ongoing symptomatology, over the course of two decades plus, Robert has persisted in vocation and in a gainful sort of psychiatric recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert portrays his psychotic experiences as a common template so others too can acquire the skills, self-confidence, and persistent hope in their ability to recover and live gainfully. Both are an experiential perspective alongside a professional clinical perspective. With these dual perspectives, a comprehensive thread is sown and schizophrenia is understood both first-person and clinically. This combination lends to a fuller appreciation of schizophrenia germane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin Robert in his episodic regales as what he hopes can be the shortcut to the recovery efforts of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elite Lizzard Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781998422067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44112807395509,"sku":"9781998422067","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8f5a88a2-7432-4aa4-bf1e-2f29296fe4b3.jpg?v=1715054431","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/schizophrenia-my-classic-delusions-9781998422067","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
