The Schizophrenic Unicorn: Understanding the Diagnosis of Schizophrenia, The Centrality of Sleep, the Biopsychosocial Diagnostic Model of Mental Disorders&Considering a Practical& Proven Alternative

"I was immensely blessed by this book. I have 20 years of medical and psychiatric practice and can attest to the veracity of the claims in this book. Several of my questions were clarified, and I found clear explanations for phenomena that I observed for years in clinical practice but which lacked theoretical foundation and understanding. What is also important to consider is that this work rests firmly on the Bible and the best of science, which makes it an indispensable tool for instructing counselors, doctors, and servants of God to understand and care for people who have received the misleading label of schizophrenia. After reading the Schizophrenic Unicorn, I have better understanding and confidence in caring for people who have been diagnosed within my profession. This book also renewed my enthusiasm to care for people, free them from false concepts, and provide proven help and hope. I am grateful to the Lord for this book and to Dr. Berger for all his commitment, love, and generosity in soul care!”— Patrick de Castro Guimarães, MD, Psychiatrist“More than a literary work, Dr. Berger has brilliantly shown in his book, The Schizophrenic Unicorn, that the Word of God has the specific answers that much of science is searching for regarding the human soul and behavior. As a seasoned psychiatrist, I can tell you confidently that we do not need more psychiatric labels to find healing. Instead, we need more Scripture to consume our minds and to interpret God’s gift of science to us.”— Thiago de Souza Machado, MD, Psychiatrist“The Schizophrenic Unicorn provides one of the most comprehensive nonpharmacological approaches to what traditional psychiatry calls schizophrenia. The etiology of the symptomatology is discussed in great detail, particularly in the area of sleep disturbances . . . . This is an important book for all to read who either professionally deal with patients said to be schizophrenic or have friends who struggle in psychosis.”— Roy Hobbs, MD F.R.C.S (C) F.A.C.S“As someone who was given the label of paranoid schizophrenia, I can attest that schizophrenia is a made-up disease concept, a unicorn as Dr. Berger has exposed. Psychiatry is a self-serving entity which has grossly neglected its patients in favor of a biological approach to mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering. I was not suffering from a brain disease. I was suffering from soul sickness, a spiritual crisis which required a traumatic experience that led me to a spiritual approach. For nineteen years, I was left in that mental state until I found healing. It was my strong belief and faith in God and Jesus Christ that led to healing my soul of all its past psychological and spiritual injuries.I highly recommend Dr. Berger's book. It is an eye opener. It is incredibly honest and brilliantly written. He leaves no stone unturned. He fills in all the missing parts that psychiatry has greatly ignored in its effort to prop up the brain disease theory.”— Tracey Higgins, Author and Advocate Read more
