Reviews

Mizock and Russinova have composed a compelling illustration of the historical shift in attitudes toward mental illness. Their book is a well-written and insightful expansion of their original work with significant implications for the future of culturally sensitive treatment. Their thorough inclusivity makes this a great read for anyone involved in mental health care. --Margarita Alegria, PhD, Director, Center for Multicultural Mental Health Research, and Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School This text will be an effective addition to any course focused on mental health, psychiatric disability, and diversity for individuals in recovery. It is especially relevant as it includes evidence-based research and practices related to groups often neglected in these discussions, particularly sexual minorities and members of the trans- and gender-non-conforming communities. --Lisa A. Razzano, PhD, CPRP, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Deputy Director, Center on Mental Health Services Research & Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago With exceptional clarity and understanding, Mizock and Russinova probe and explicate the processes, meaning, and benefits, both personally and socially, of proactive acceptance of mental illness. Their in-depth analysis sensitively explores the complexities of acceptance across gender and sexual orientations, as well as a function of race and ethnicity. This long overdue book is an invaluable contribution to the mental health field. --Kim T. Mueser, PhD, Executive Director, Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Boston University
