Transformational Stories: Voices for True Healing in Mental Health (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781393250166)

These oral histories tell of transformative experiences which led persons to become advocates and practitioners for reform of the mental health system. They include psychiatric survivors and professionals, many of whom have been or are leaders in the movement. Many of these stories are a miracle of survival, but they show the path to true healing - how, despite fierce resistance, persons found their voice and identity. Pioneered by those who faced extreme situations and wounding, the way to deep healing can be found in lived lifes. We invite you now to take a journey which will convey to you an uncommon psychological wisdom.
