This book discusses the work that the author has undertaken over the last twenty-five years, as well as the work of generations of mental health practitioners over the last one hundred years, which demonstrates that broken attachments, and in particular a type of attachment that the author refers to as the 'infanticidal attachment', may play a pivotal role in the development of the schizophrenic psychoses. The Infanticidal Origins of Psychosis: The Role of Trauma in Schizophrenia includes chapters on 'The Ravages of Schizophrenia', 'The Aetiology of Schizophrenia', 'Theories of Biopathogenesis' and 'Schizophrenia and the Holocaust'.
