Useful.

My sister is a social worker in the mental health field and recommended this book after I told her I thought I was becoming our father. I found it to be very helpful and empowering. I was looking to make a few changes and there is no fluff here. Actionable and valuable. Anyone who has been told that medication and therapy are the only options, should check this out.
