Recenzje

"This is a fascinating, innovative, and very instructive book about how practitioners can assist people with severe mental illness on their road toward self-directed recovery. The individualized approach on meaning-making and the patient’s unique experience fills a void in current treatment literature based on symptom-focused interventions. The authors convey a convincing theoretical and clinical rationale for the MERIT treatment model along with an inspiring variety of tools."
Anne-Kari Torgalsbøen, PhD, professor, Department of Psychology, University of Oslo, Norway

"People with severe mental illnesses have long been marginalized by society with little hope of getting access to treatment that may help them not only to cope with their signs and symptoms, but also to lead meaningful and satisfactory lives. Recovery, Meaning-Making, and Severe Mental Illness is an in-depth guide for practitioners who seek to empower patients in their endeavor to achieve recovery. Written in a compassionate style, the book encompasses outstanding expertise and skillful therapeutic guidance – clinicians will love it."
Martin Brüne, MD, PhD, professor of psychiatry, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany
