"as good a book as there exists examining mental health practice in Britian today, with the message that to prevent risk you need to listen to and engage with service users first"
"this is not a 'psychy' book but anyone about to care for vulnerable and isolated people should read it for the appreciation that social networks do have measurable effects on people's lives,"
"this is the best book you will read about 'risk', it will make you think about the subject, which is the whole point of the selection of the books on this list"
"the concept of 'Stress' is essential in understanding a large part of service users lives, you will not find a better intro into the subject (most often explained by reference to 'fight or flight')"
