I truly enjoyed reading this book from beginning to end. I learned a great deal about past techniques that were used on patients of mental health hospitals. I was horrified on how individuals were lumped together and were often ignored for what seemed years at a time. Patients had to choose to get better in order to leave the hospital. I struggled with the author’s mental illness at first. I did not understand how a person could choose to enter a hospital with severe anxiety if they are not showing symptoms of typical mental illness. Later on in the book I came to learn of her depression and her over medication by the hospitals. I believe overall the book made me appreciate the system that we have today. It might need a great deal of improvement, but it has come a long way. I cannot imagine placing a child in a system such as the one the author had to suffer through. I strongly recommend this book for both educators and parents of children who are suffering from a mental illness. The book is a little dated, but the information is very important. History does not change, therefore it is always valuable. ( )
