In Malady of the Mind, Dr. Lieberman draws on his decades of experience as a psychiatrist to explore the causes, symptoms, and treatments of schizophrenia. "Perhaps the leading authority working on this topic today, here he makes the complex science he has mastered fully accessible." (Andrew Solomon, author of Noonday Demon)

Dr. Lieberman's book has received critical acclaim for its clarity, compassion, and insight. Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind praised Malady of the Mind as "the most important book about schizophrenia in decades, and perhaps ever…a total game-changer."

In Malady of the Mind, which received a Publishers Weekly starred review, "Lieberman's empathetic accounts of his patients' stories drive home the toll the illness takes" on the individuals and the families of those living with this mental health disorder.

A must-read for those interested in medical history, psychology, and those whose lives have been affected by schizophrenia, Malady of the Mind is a "penetrating, important" book that offers a comprehensive scientific portrait, crucial insights, sound advice for families and friends, and most importantly, hope for those sufferers now and for future generations.
