{"product_id":"9783319815855","title":"Narratives of Recovery from Serious Mental Illness","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this informative and inspiring book the author narrates the stories of 12 patients whom he treated during their recovery from serious mental illness.  These narratives reveal their common struggles: misdiagnosis, dual-diagnosis, impeded access to medication, medication-adherence issues, homelessness, employment\/unemployment issues, and problems with governmental agencies.   They also reveal some of the satisfactions of practicing outreach psychiatry: appreciating the patients’ resilience, persistence, and talents, and the cooperation of outside service-providers, all of which promote recovery.  Each patient’s path is unique.  Their successes remind us that schizophrenia, paranoia, bipolar illness, and substance abuse need not preclude a productive and satisfying life.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e· Direct quotations from patients demonstrate their awareness of their problems and progress.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e· Patients’ acceptance promotes flexibility and creativity from their psychiatrist.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e· Team members provide innovative and targeted support.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e· The psychiatrist identifies aspects his interactions with these patients that contributed to his professional development.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e· A unique feature is the documentation of patients’ monthly progress for up to 6 years.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThough no one knows what initiates recovery, this book vividly describes how it does so.   For psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers these are compelling stories of hope and a powerful call to consider outreach psychiatry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year: \u003c\/strong\u003e2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eSpringer International Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFormat: P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWeight (Gram): 2876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Tucker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41278659952818,"sku":"9783319815855","price":93.59,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5382\/4178\/products\/3319815857.01_SCLZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1636244682","url":"https:\/\/readabook.store\/products\/9783319815855","provider":"READABOOK BY ALKEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
