The Naked Bird Watcher by Suzy Johnston
To Walk on Eggshells by Jean Johnston

With these accounts by both the patient and her recovery, there is now a rare and unusual insight into living with and learning to manage a severe mental illness. Easy to read, the books document the thoughts and lives of a mother and daughter as they learn to live with and manage a mental disorder and emabark on a journey of recovery from such acute psychiatric illness. They highlight the importance of good psychiatric treament, the role of the support and the carer and the value of careful self-management as the vital aids to recovery and mental stability.

"Emotive but practical, these books should be read by those affected by mental illness and all working within the profession"
