From Library Journal
In this intriguing book, Podvoll postulates that "everyone has the capacity to recover from psychosis." Drawing on the writings of articulate individuals who recorded their psychotic experiences, he vividly re-creates bizarre behavior and thought patterns: visions, feelings of empowerment, sense of mastery (or subjugation) to an external order, enhanced spirituality, and exhilaration. To capitalize on the psychotic's "islands of clarity," he proposes designing a therapeutic home environment staffed by a team offering an integrated program of family support and psychotherapy, with spiritual overtones of Buddhism and Native American religions. While his ideas are impractical for wide-scale implementation, he succeeds in arousing interest in evaluating the mode, or indeed outmoded model, of current psychiatric care.
