I can highly recommend Non Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. Very good on how to express needs in a gentle way.

Sometimes the brain does extreme things to protect us (although with nasty side-effects), for example in DID/MPD or PTSD. However in schizophrenia it's hard to see that there's any protective benefit at all. Am I missing anything? Is there any utility to it? And is it a natural response to any stimuli?

Thanks in advance
