VanGore,

You aren't really fighting if you don't provide evidence: Again, where are studies showing that changes in biological factors are the cause of schizophrenia? You haven't cited anything. It's fine to have an opinion, but an opinion is just that.

Also, consider this: What is the appropriate, or "correct" level of dopamine for a brain to have? Who decides that? And, are varying levels of dopamine perhaps appropriate responses to whatever varied experiences a person has had in their life?

Difficult questions...

And in my view of therapy for severe psychosis, the relationship can modify the distressed psychobiological state so that the person can ultimately become non-scizophrenic and well. It's not "managing an illness", it's truly getting well - becoming non-mentally ill - and living as good a life as most functional non-mentally ill people live. There's a big difference. The books I provided with the 30 cases give many examples of this type of recovery.
