Reviews

"""This book, written by a struggling consumer and consummate advocate of great stature and growing vulnerability, is a must read for anyone working in the fields of mental health and addictions or living with mental illness and or addiction.” - Andrew Malekoff, Social Work with Groups ""This book provides a clear and compelling vision of liberation health practice in social work. While not being prescriptive, it provides tools and a framework for analysis and action. The case presentations are highly effective at demonstrating the use of the triangle in a process of problem formulation that both includes and goes beyond traditional practice. These analyses and the plethora of interventions they inform will likely challenge all but the most cynical of practitioners, expanding readers’ sense of what is possible."" -- Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare"
