Voices: From schizophrenia to song. A son's journey; a father's perspective

A searingly provocative and ultimately triumphant account of a heroic battle against the most terrifying of mental illnesses. Schizophrenia takes a bright, athletic 17-year-old and transforms him into a man-mountain of agonised blubber who spends the next eight years on a psychiatric ward.

Struggling to accept that there is no cure, his father embarks on a determined quest to discover alternative treatments, encountering healers with gifts for which there is no conventional explanation.

Elliot's father questions everything - especially his son's reliance on brutal drugs-and sometimes his own sanity. Ultimately, this story is a tribute to the love, courage and music that saved his son.
