A brief statement of your situation and need
Craig Wagner's Choices in Recovery offers a broad spectrum of proven non-drug therapies for mental health recovery in a clear, pragmatic, and balanced form. Discarding medical jargon when it isn't needed, the book is both dense with recovery techniques and amazingly readable.
Choices in Recovery stitches together recovery techniques from divergent sources: conventional psychiatry and alternative medicine; biomedical and psychosocial disciplines; as well as Western and non-Western medical systems.
The book is strongly evidence-based, with over 1500 references. But, it is also enlivened with over 100 patient case studies and physician perspectives that bring a strong sense of humanity and hope to the meticulous medical detail. It is updated every three months with the latest research, clinical innovations, and case studies of recovery.
Wagner's book is specifically written for those with mental health issues and their loved-ones. But case managers, social workers, and mental health professionals will also find it an excellent read. It is a robust tool for anyone seeking light on the pathway of mental health recovery.
