"Hardly ever does a single text so capably conjoin the personal with both policy and practice in mental health care. Through the lens of her own family’s experience with mental illness, Phyllis Vine illuminates key problems and achievements in mental health care over the past half century, while simultaneously giving the reader a detailed view of the development and evolution of the consumer movement and peer support. The results of her efforts are must-reading for anyone who wants to understand how the mental health field has developed and where it must go in the future."
—Ron Manderscheid, former president/CEO, National Association of County Behavioral Health and Developmental Disability Directors and the National Association for Rural Mental Health
