Book excerpt: This is a story of the affects on the author of paranoid schizophrenia, diagnosed at age 17 through current 2018 age 60. Unlike previous editions, the author reflected upon his contribution back to society, and he realized the reason in the previous editions for the long Philosophy chapter stuff was not a part of this story. He realized this came about by growing up in the 1970s and that 'we all want to change the world' theme of those times. So Larry has done a "reconstruction edit" in this version and all of the Philosophy has been deleted, and replaced with more accurate newer discovered information on this illness. And as the author sets out in 1994 to prove there is never a reason to go back into the hospital as long as one adhere's to "effective" medications. He invites questions, and will answer them in his YouTube format channel. This book does, however, ascribe to the medical model for treatment. Is current, honest, and true. As corroborated by newly written contributions by clinicians.
