Product Description

Synopsis
A self-help manual for anyone who has endured the effects of mental illness, whether as a sufferer, friend, family member or caregiver. It is designed to offer detailed, jargon-free guidelines to help readers come to terms with mental illness in a positive way, while avoiding disabling emotional responses to illness. Virginia Lafond's experience as a mental health practitioner has taught her that grieving is always a partner to mental illness. Unacknowledged grief takes its toll, slowing or even stalling recovery. Using grief as a healthy, normal, adaptive process enhances recovery, allowing positive choices to be made. The result can help sufferers come to terms with their illness and prepare them for success in rehabilitation programmes. First published in 1994, this revised edition contains a new introduction and two new appendices: "A Worker's Guide for Working with the Grief of Mental Illness" and "Mental Illness: Responses to Frequently Asked Questions".
