 Recommended Reading  Gwill Newman, NARSAD's very first president, has published a memoir, "My Son's Name Was Fred" -- a beautiful, moving and informative account of raising a son who developed schizophrenia. Ms. Newman, in her search for answers to her son's short life, writes passionately of the onset of his mental illness, how it changed the lives of everyone in their family, and the disease's tragic consequences for Fred. "'My Son's Name was Fred' is unique and extraordinary from multifaceted perspectives. I have never read a more 'honest' and moving book, and will do everything I can to help others to discover this jewel." - Dr. Stuart C.Yudofsky, Chairman, Menninger Department of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston "Every parent of a schizophrenic child should read it. Every doctor and caregiver involved should read it. It would comfort, inspire and certainly lessen the agony for others. But equally important, it could give new impetus to research and fund raising." - William E. Fay, Jr., Founder, Brain Research Foundation, Chicago; Former Managing Partner, Smith Barney "I was completely enthralled by your book. I couldn't put it down for about two weeks.... I don't know how you could bring yourself to write it all down; it is an act of courage and self-examination that I can only admire. You give away a great deal about yourself, in order to be true to your story, and it is much more convincing than something made up and presented in a novel or in a fictionalized version of oneself......" - Dr. Elliot S. Gershon, Foundations Fund Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Human Genetics, University of Chicago  » Order Now
