A psychiatrist's journey to help her patients in the broken American mental health care system is chronicled in this clinical memoir by Alice Feller. Through patient vignettes and personal accounts of her work, spanning from medical school to hospital wards, private practice, public clinics, and beyond, Feller brings the reader into the world of serious mental illness. Individual chapters are devoted to cases describing the impact of homelessness, substance abuse, racism, family involvement, and early intervention for schizophrenia cases on treatment outcomes. Feller identifies specific barriers to care and advocates for reparative strategies that would make the most meaningful and immediate improvements. This book is meant for anyone whose life is touched by mental illness, whether a patient, in the family, or more personally.
