ABSTRACT
This chapter, rather than being theoretical and discursive, will be one that is intended to be entirely practical and succinct. In the first two sections I will present additional therapeutic hints that have emerged from discussions with Desmond, Ivo and Deanna; from visitors to the Borderliners group (see Preface) and from the group itself and from students at Birkbeck College and the Open University. Then I will go on to outline briefly how my own recovery from psychosis, in the long term, was brought about; then give some hints about the same issue from other patients I mixed with between 1979 and 1988 (some 33 people in all). Finally, I will provide some ‘gut feelings’ about recovery from schizophrenia and schizoaffective psychosis and conclude with a comment about the intrinsic validity of schizotypy.
