In this marvellous book, Stanghellini reinvigorates and resurrects psychopathology as more than just the listing of symptoms, re-presenting it as the 'science of the meanings of abnormal human phenomena' . . . The book, from the successful and influential OUP series International Perspectives in Philosophy and Psychiatry, is, like the others, a joy to read . . . All mental health professionals are likely to gain, both clinically and intellectually, from reading this book, and carers, patients and philosophers will find much to help them engage with the potentially disorientating and frightening reality of psychosis. * Mental Health Today *
