The human mind is too complex to understand using only one way of thinking or one kind of technique.
A fascinating book, and very thought provoking about the way mental health is represented and treated, in different settings, whilst also demonstrating how powerful therapy can be and benefit everyone.

bekacrook's review against another edition

This book has allowed me to think about my own internal bias and how this may influence how I originally viewed people whose crimes or life experience did not align with my morals, values or lived experience. By bringing awareness to this it allows us to view people as people. Every person is deserving of help, respect and redemption and we really need to ensure that this is allowed to happen by supporting those individuals and organisations who do this kind of work.
Not always an easy read but a necessary one.
