I saw a really good video this guy made. It was a training session for first responders to people in crisis. So excellent! I felt like I understood psychosis better after watching it. I'll have to see if I can find it.
ETA: I found the link to the talk, but unfortunately it's not working now. He does have some videos on youtube - Schizophrenia Blueprint. He presents the sz being a biochemical imbalance in the brain - which I don't think the medical "experts" even accept anymore. Nevertheless I find his insights into psychosis and how to deal with a person in active psychosis to very useful.

See page 3 of the NYT article
"He (Milt Greek ) is preparing the study for publication in a psychiatric journal and has put much of his thinking into a manual for families dealing with psychosis, called “Schizophrenia: A Blueprint for Recovery.” http://www.schizophreniablueprint.com/ |

Thanks, Appin. I couldn't get into Mr. Greek's website yesterday. Maybe too active because of the newspaper article? Anyway I have a copy of his Blueprint for Recovery.
Also, I see there's a link to that talk that so impressed me from his site: http://neomediaweb.neomed.edu/medias...c9e7cccd232a1d I'm watching it again right now. If you watch it, note that the first speaker - who introduces Mr. Greek - is very hard to hear. The audio improves a great deal when Mr. Greek begins speaking. Mr. Greek is very much into the medical model and the use of medications. I'm not necessarily sold on that. It was his insights into psychosis and how to talk to a person in psychosis that so impressed me.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
