Recenzii

“The book is concise and well written. The author achieves the goal of providing mental health professionals a look at the possibility of recovery for those patients suffering long-lasting illness, including addictions, personality disorders, and/or schizophrenia. It is an appealing presentation of Care Farms that suggests that community treatment over a longer period of time can be an effective approach for those struggling with mental illness and ease their re-entry into normal society.” (Viola Mecke, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (30), July, 2016)
