Böcker av Heather Castillo

A highly readable account of an innovative, person-centred, community-based approach to recovery from personality disorder, this book presents new and better ways of supporting people through the process. Documented experiences and first-hand accounts from The Haven Project prove the success of the project's method.

This book offers an alternative and thought-provoking perspective to the conventional and orthodox understanding of mental health and how to help those suffering with mental illness. It will appeal to social workers in mental health contexts as well as students on post qualifying courses and the Masters Degree in Social Work.

Personality Disorder is one of the most difficult psychological conditions to classify and treat. Drawing on extensive research carried out in conjunction with service users, the author seeks to adjust this imbalance and looks at the classification and treatment of personality disorder from the service users' viewpoint.
