Any books on schizophrenia?

I would like to know more about this phenomenon. And as I don't have any access to schizophrenics themselves I wouldn't mind a wide bibliographic approach; schizophrenia as a psychiatric pathology, as a diabolic possession or visionary infusion, as a sociohistorical condition of vagrancy, as a cognitive disarray or meltdown... anything, really.

Recs'd be very appreciated.

I already did. But it felt more like an allegory of an individual's (self-)cognition in our incipiently mediated (i. e. mutilated) society, not a study of the schizophrenic condition itself.
Looking for something different here.

The Gospel of Philip is a perfect example of the Empirical-Positivist-Materialist principle of ineffable conspiracy as actual Ontology, the intersection of lesser polar opposites as functionally generative of the greater whole, a Metadualism. Epistemology splitting and relegating its own prostration to the CHAMBER for the sake of maintaining any barrier between you and the Phenomenal vista. Such is Schizophrenia, and Catholicism.

Saints, Scholars, and Schizophrenics: Mental Illness in Rural Ireland is a classic anthro text.

what you're describing here is closer to the history of hysteria and epilepsy (which didn't have as big a line between them and/or schizophrenia at the time since it's the beginning of modern psychiatry and neurology). i highly recommend Medical Muses by Hustvedt which explains all the political-medical-literary-socio-economic circumstance around the main French hospital for those developments, the Salpetriere.
