Your Mental Health Recovery Workbook
... a tour de force not only for anyone living with a mental illness and their loved ones, but for anyone who feels in the need for some practical, down-to-earth guidance on how to make the most of life. – Larry Davidson, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Program for Recovery and Community Health, Yale University
