Rezensionen

"Nevertheless many of the contributors show a strong understanding of the impact of mental ill-health on people's lives, a wish to reduce that impact, and awareness of and respect for people's rights (even though legal aspects are not discussed, as I describe above). In other words, though you may agree or not with some of the contributors, their humanity shines through, and as such the book is a wonderful and fitting tribute to the pioneer of mental health community care, Michele Tansella." (Potential Unleashed, 6 October 2013)
