Review: Well written and a very interesting read - I love this book!! I could not put it down! It was actually a page turner...something very unusual for a clinical book in this therapist's experience....user friendly for clinicians or non...Also the author writes great introductions that explain the book to non - clinicians the diagnostic system. Each chapter has a diagnostic heading and a description of the disorder. I think its a great idea for patients who have the disorder to write about their experiences. This does add a different perspective to the disorder for clinicians and is a great review for clinicians!..Buy this book.
Review: Fabulous stories! - This book is filled with real-life stories of people who've been diagnosed with DSM-V mental illnesses. It's a great resource for anyone who struggles with mental illness or knows someone who does; or for a college psych student. The real-life stories are so raw and real that reading some of them is hard. They provide a real insider's look at mental illness.
