Reviews
A highly informative and surprisingly balanced book that should be read by anyone with a personal or professional stake in how the mental health system provides care to those with chronic severe illnesses and those in acute crisis... Although Committed explores a complex subject, Miller and Hanson make a great effort to humanize this discussion. Washignton Post

Although ""Committed"" explores a complex subject, Miller and Hanson make a great effort to humanize this discussion. Washington Post This fact-filled, open-minded, and straightforward survey will interest students of the subject and those serving mentally ill clients. Library Journal ... it is refreshing-indeed therapeutic-to encounter a thoughtful, balanced treatment of this contentious and important topic in the book, Committed. Psychiatric Times This is quite a feat in 265 readable pages. I applaud the authors for their work. Mad In America a compelling, exceptionally well-researched and written analysis of the immensely complicated, multifaceted issues faced by families, physicians, psychiatrists, police, the courts and society when mental illness endangers patients and those around them.
