From the Ashes of Experience: Reflections of Madness, Survival and Growth
ISBN: 9781861561206 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It could be argued that a more sensitive appreciation of the total reality of the ?madness experience?, of the interior perceptions, feelings and thoughts, and the exterior reactions based on them, is the single most important development that could improve the quality of life of those diagnosed mentally ill.

These miscreants are construed as double-trouble - mad and...
