How parents refused blame for causing schizophrenia
When Medicine Got it Wrong is the groundbreaking story of loving parents who rocked the halls of psychiatry, changing how we understand schizophrenia.

Their activism helped revolutionize treatment forever and their stories reveal the origins of the tragic state of mental health care today.
