At the moment I will only give a rating to the book and I hope it is possible for me to write down my reviews on Amazon. Barnes and Noble and Goodreads. I am very grateful to you because your publications are great, especially in the topics that interest me most. Thanks and blessings.

I read about 30 percent of this book quite thoroughly and skimmed the rest of it. I had to be honest with you about that. This book was over my head in understanding of the scientific aspects of the conditions discussed and the treatments proposed. There are large parts of the book that I could understand, particularly in the first 20 percent of the book. The author discussed things in more layman's terms and used a lot of case studies for examples to illustrate his points.

The author is making the point that hearing voices in diagnosed schizophrenia cases is most likely caused by some type of trauma, physical or emotional. He uses many case studies to support his theory before he goes into the ideas of how to treat such conditions.

This book could be helpful to many people struggling with the after-effects of TBI or PTSD, to possibly understand their own conditions and situations. However, it seems like the level of scientific knowledge required to really understand would mean you'd need your doctor on hand to interpret much of it and discuss it with you. Not exactly light reading.
