To have brought together all of these points of view through direct interviews in a single text is a great achievement. -Bruce J. Cohen, MD, University of Virginia School of Medicine While practical information gives Committed its spine, it is the emotions that we feel in reading patients' firsthand accounts that prick at the conscience. -Pete Earley, author of Crazy: A Father's Search through America's Mental Health Madness In Committed, the voices of people with mental illness, family members, and clinicians paint a picture of the ethical complexity of involuntary psychiatric treatment. The authors show that the system for helping individuals with serious mental illness remains broken, and policy makers would be well advised to read this book before offering one-dimensional solutions. -Dominic A.
