"Nidotherapy is a new concept in mental health. For years we have laboured under the happy notion that with humanity, determination and a little science, we could correct all the disabilities and handicaps associatied with psychiatric disorder. But we over-reached oursleves. A large number of mental disorders are labelled 'chronic,' as helath professionals have very little impact on their symptoms and course. Nidotherapy is for such people, who often feel they have failed because they have not shared in the heady notion that all can recover...With case studies and excercises (with answers), this book is an excellent guide to the emerging discipline of nidotherapy" -- Publisher's description.
