Reviews
"The focus on active involvement of people who use mental health services make this book valuable for psychiatric rehabilitation trainers as well as for educators and policy makers in the more generic behavioral health field. Their message is a strong one, insisting that mental health trainers and educators have political and ethical responsibility as well as a practical obligation to teach recover-oriented practice." (Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Winter 2009)
"...provides the health professional with an insight into the concerns and questions that someone suffering with schizophrenia needs to consider..." (Mental Health Today, March 2008)
"With twenty-nine chapters by over fifty authors it certainly brings together a wealth of experience" (Journal of Analytical Psychology, 2008)
