Some of the experts represented in this YouTube video: Joanne Greenberg, best-selling author of I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, recovered from schizophrenia for over fifty years Peter Breggin, MD, radical psychiatrist and author of Toxic Psychiatry Bertram Karon, PhD, psychologist, therapist, and author of The Psychotherapy of Schizophrenia Daniel Dorman, MD, psychiatrist, author of Dantes Cure Danielle Knafo, PhD, psychologist, author of Living With Terror, Working With Trauma Schizophrenia treatment therapy psychotherapy psychosis schizophrenics medication trauma abuse childhood recovery healing Joanne Greenberg I Never Promised You a Rose Garden Peter Breggin Daniel Mackler
