Paperback. Zustand: Good. No drugs. No alcohol. So, how does a fifty-three-year-old develop schizophrenia? That's the question puzzling Joseph's family when his mind descends into madness, filled with grandiose delusions and paranoia. He roams the world as a self-proclaimed prophet-of-God-purportedly arrested in Israel, advised the Mafioso in Italy, and hailed as a prophet in Africa. When he returns to the United States, he faces down drug dealers and prostitutes while homeless, then disappears. Shrouded by secrecy related to stigma and confusion of a complicated medical system that hinders rather than helps, his wife and three kids race to find answers before he slips away forever. Their biggest fear-he will die a faceless stranger on the streets. Alone. An IBPA Benjamin Franklin Silver award-winner in psychology, Losing Dad, Paranoid Schizophrenia: A Family's Search for Hope is a compelling true story told through multiple perspectives-the children, spouse, and patient; it offers a glimpse into a world that will either feel hauntingly familiar or shocking. The foreword by Dr. Xavier Amador, Founder, LEAP Institute, Author of I am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help! explains the neurological condition of anosognosia. Includes supplemental materials including a discussion of laws, exclusive family interviews, photographs, and reading guide questions. Losing Dad is a standalone book. If you would like additional information after reading, there is a follow-up book called Finding Dad, Paranoid Schizophrenia: An End to the Search by Amanda LaPera.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A successful, loving father of three is suddenly struck by paranoid schizophrenia and hallucinates the mob is out to kill him. He declares himself a prophet of God and disappears, homeless on the streets. After nearly a decade, Joseph is all but forgotten by the world. His devoted daughter, Amanda, spends years searching for him. With hope slipping away, her sister, brother, and stepmother give up, forced to move on with their lives. When a call from the Missing Persons division alerts Amanda that her dad is still alive-location unknown-she races against time to save him. Amanda's mission is clear: find her dad. Her motivation: unconditional love. She navigates a maze of medical bureaucracy and a tangle of relationships to discover that what she's been searching for is not all that she finds. This incredible true story, Finding Dad, Paranoid Schizophrenia: An End to the Search, is a standalone book.
