This book is accessible and clearly written. The authors both write from a place of clinical insights and scientific evidence. The tendency to locate psychological distress within an individual without factoring in the social context is challenged. The book is thought provoking and a breath of fresh air as common sense begins to see where distress is normal in some circumstances and what harm pathologizing all distress can cause. This is the first book I've also come across that also highlights the considerable harm some therapist (or mental health practitioner's) can cause, and the care we need to take with boundaries. A great read and a useful tool for anyone working with someone in distress.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent, well-written
Verified PurchaseThis is an excellent, well-written, and very informative book, in which different factors at the basis of mental health problems are unbiasedly discussed and, when plausible, integrated.
