Title: Transforming madness
First published: 1999
Description: Novelist Neugeboren, drawn to the field by mental illness in his family, presents a clear-eyed, articulate, survey of our mental health care system's shortcomings and of new, effective, proven approaches that make real differences in the lives of millions of Americans afflicted with severe mental illness. A book for general readers and professionals alike, this is at once a critique, a message of hope and recovery, and a call to action. Filled with dramatic stories, it shows us the many ways in which people who have suffered the long-term ravages of psychiatric disorders have reclaimed full and viable lives.--From publisher description.
