Reviews

'When feeling bewildered and alone, with a sense of responsibility for a much loved relative affected by psychosis, the testimonies of others with caring experiences can be a lifeline. Professionals and students will also deepen their understanding by learning from carers. The authors have assembled, in this slim volume, a richly varied selection of personal accounts of caring, which will prove an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with compassionate care.' Philippa Garety, Professor of Clinical Psychology, King's College London
