"This book is a major development on from the (2004) 1st edition, edited by John Read, Loren Mosher & Richard Bentall; all well-known authors in this growing field of 're-explaining' madness and psychosis...This book ... promotes a much more humane and effective response to treating severely distressed people; it should prove essential reading for psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health workers; and of great interest to all those who work in - or who are treated by - current mental health services." - Courtenay Young, Edinburgh, Scotland, Theodor Itten, St Gallen, Switzerland, IJP

"Truly, a revolution is occurring in our understanding of severe mental illness. ... This volume will serve as an inspiration, not only to established clinicians and researchers, but to the young people who will develop better services for people with psychosis in the future." - Richard Bentall, from the Foreword
