CHAPTER

Redefining Psychosis: A Hopeful Narrative

This chapter explores the author's motivations for writing a book on psychosis intended for a wider audience, contrasting academic writing with a more accessible narrative. The discussion includes a personal encounter that inspired the author to challenge traditional biological explanations and include social factors like trauma in understanding psychosis. By integrating psychoanalytic insights with relatable examples from literature and art, the author aims to provide hope and a new perspective for those affected by psychosis.
