Review
...books such as this are long overdue in the marketplace. It is my hope that many family members will not only read this material but hopefully support others in the process... If this book empowers only a handful of families to manage these situations more positively then it will have achieved a great deal - --From the Foreword by Andrew McDonnell, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Director of Studio III Training Systems
