Von der hinteren Coverseite

Exploring the process of recovery from personality disorder, and how this can be achieved, this research-based but highly readable book describes successful community-based ways to support people after diagnosis, and the wider implications for mental ill health. Based on work at the innovative, community project The Haven, the book offers groundbreaking ways to care for and meet the needs of people with major mental health issues in a positive and creative way, as part of mental health services and in relationships with family and friends. First-hand accounts offer perspectives on living with mental health issues, challenge stereotypes, and provide insights into the needs of people with personality disorder and ways in which to work with them to develop effective services.
