Description

"'I think Grieving Mental Illness, by Virginia Lafond, is a book that many families and/or consumers would find valuable. Certainly finding a way to come to terms with an array of painful emotions is a challenge to most people touched by mental illness. Families and consumers may be aware of suffering a great deal of pain but may be unable to articulate just what that painful emotion is. Virginia Lafond's book helps them identify the nature of their pain so that they can come to terms with it. She provides considerable practical help to her readers.'" - Agnes B. Hatfield, Ph.D., Prof. Emerita, University of Maryland [from the website]
