Author Robert Francis has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia for longer than a quarter century. Over the many years, Robert has been intimately familiar with the commonly tempered expectations and diminished hopes for those living with schizophrenia to live a full and abundant life, similar to others. In his now third book on living with schizophrenia, Robert was driven to literary action, to flip the schizophrenia narrative from one of abundant deficits to one of abundant strengths. In Schizophrenia: A Strength's Perspective; Life Lessons Learned from Living with Schizophrenia, Robert details personal strengths and life lessons learned from living with schizophrenia for many years. The narrative shows a positive spin on the schizophrenia diagnosis as well as on its prognosis. Robert precludes such positive reflectivity as a simple or wishful pie-in-the-sky naïveté, and instead neatly details such positives as resoundingly rational, insightful, and genuine. Robert truly believes in recovery from schizophrenia, which includes a robust and fulfilling life, similar to everyone else, and the absence of the requisite "grim perspective". Across all literary domains, the strengths of living with schizophrenia are barely addressed, that is, until now. Join Robert as he spins a most positive perspective to living with schizophrenia.
Robert Francis was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1995. He earned a bachelor's degree in 1993 and a master's degree in social work in 2006. Robert has been practicing as a talk therapist for more than a decade. He is currently a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Regarding the topic of schizophrenia, Robert has authored two other books. His first book is titled On Conquering Schizophrenia: From the Desk of a Therapist and Survivor and his second book is titled The Essential Schizophrenia Companion; With Foreword by Elyn R Saks, PhD, JD. Each book, including this newest one, combines clinical and lived experience perspectives. Such a dual perspective of schizophrenia is both novel and very illuminating. Robert's passion is to help others with schizophrenia to recover, as he did, and to live a full, satisfying, and hopeful lives! Robert sees schizophrenia as having associated inherent strengths, and in Schizophrenia: A Strength's Perspective; Life Lessons Learned from Living with Schizophrenia, he brings these exemplary strengths to light for others to see, share, and appreciate. In Schizophrenia: A Strength's Perspective; Life Lessons Learned from Living with Schizophrenia, Robert accentuates the positive, and as is customary of his writing style, he does so with characteristic warmth and an undeniable and touching appeal!
