Reviews

Pausing to thank Michele for a career of service, yieldingimprovements in many parts of the world, seems eminentlyworthwhile. We encourage all mental health services researchers toread this book (Fig. 1. (Acta PsychiatricaScandinavica, 24 March 2014) Nevertheless many of the contributors show a strongunderstanding of the impact of mental ill-health on people slives, a wish to reduce that impact, and awareness of and respectfor people s rights (even though legal aspects are notdiscussed, as I describe above). In other words, though youmay agree or not with some of the contributors, their humanityshines through, and as such the book is a wonderful and fittingtribute to the pioneer of mental health community care, MicheleTansella.
