Schizophrenia: Who Cares?

Author: Tim Salmon
Publication info: Artaxerxes Press
ISBN: 9780956507006

A father's story of his son's twenty-year struggle with schizophrenia, this book is a must-read for all those concerned with the illness, both carers and professionals.

'Salmon writes of the bureaucratic hurdles he has had to face in order to get help for his damaged child; including as evidence some of the letters he has received from organisations supposed to help the weaker members of our society, which reduced me, on occasion, to both tears and laughter. We could do better than this. Salmon's story - which I found a riveting read, a proper page-turner - might show us the way.' Nina Bawden, novelist; author of The Birds on the Trees

It is a story that may be familiar to many carers.He talks about the lonliness and isolation but concludes that despite the system his son is coping. An inspiring account of determination, courage and a father's unfailing love for his son.
