Review
"I'm Not Sick, I Don't Need Help! addresses one of the toughest and most emotional problems in delivering mental health services. The book offers a sensitive presentation of a practical, clinically sound, approach to getting a severely ill person to accept needed treatment. I hope this book will be widely read. It gives us a much-needed and long overdue common ground for helping people in crisis." Laurie Flynn, Executive Director, National Alliance for the Mentally Ill
Review
"Amador, a psychologist who has a brother with schizophrenia, has pioneered research on poor insight into illness. He provides families and mental health professionals with a concrete, step-by-step plan to improve awareness of illness. This book fills a tremendous void in the literature on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder." E. Fuller Torret, M.D., author of Surviving Schizophrenia
