Many of these kinds of books are very hard to read. Comming from the perspective of helping a family member toward mental wellness, I found it easy to understand, with an overall positive slant.

There is a very damning view of western society and western medicine and how it treats mental health issues. Trying to heal mental health issues in the western system is like trying to fight a war by committee.

Susan and Rosemary do highlight some of the positive changes that have happened in mental health in recent times. If only Rosemary's practice was more accessable to us.

I highly recomend this to anyone who has family members, friends or loved ones suffering. ( )
