Reviews

Carl Walker, Angie Hart, and Paul Hanna provide an insightful and at times humorous (Martian visitor) critique of the mental health system in the United Kingdom for people with `mental distress' and `misery.' The authors' utilization of case studies adds a human face to problems and issues confronting individuals with severe and chronic mental illness. While research based, the authors' deliberate and engaging writing style would appeal to diverse groups that might include policy makers, practitioners, academics, and students. (David B. Jones, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (51), December, 2017)
