It seems to me that this book has been written as a profound act of service to all families struggling with psychosis. It conveys with great - sometimes appalling- clarity the loneliness of families, especially parents and especially, as in the author's case,single parents trying to find healing for the one they love.
I found much of value here, as a psychotherapist myself and a Family Constellations practitioner but most of all,I was affected as a human being. I was awed by Janet Love's love for her son and by her tenacity in the face of so much that was at the very least unhelpful and at worst downright obstructive. I hope that this may strengthen and inspire others and that some of the effective solutions she found will point the way for them.

As a former Mental health worker, I wish I had had access to Janet Love's heartfelt account of her experiences a number of years ago. She held my attention from start to finish. I highly reccommend this book to mental health workers of all disciplines as well as sufferers of psychotic disorders and their families. All stand to benefit from reading about what Janet Love and her son have been through. Please - don't take my word for it - just read it.

A page turner. Made me smile and made me choke with tears. I found it hard putting the book down and couldn't wait to get back to it!
