There’s no other book quite like it as it takes patients, their relatives, and carers through the treacherous terrain that is the mental health landscape today, giving advice, signposting how to safely traverse the territory and giving hope at the same time

Required reading for anyone with an interest in mental health (and that means all of us). Important, generous, painstakingly researched

This is required reading for anyone with an interest in mental health (and that means all of us). It is a really important book, a generous, painstakingly researched rethink on how best to promote recovery.
