Reviews"...this authoritative guide offers a wealthe of practical and research-based information for members of this specialty. The modest title belies a text packed with notable facts and tables to help primary care providers render primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of mental illness." Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, ' … a clear exposition of the current findings … highly relevant to the needs of busy practitioners and their professional partners in primary care.' Christopher Dowrick, BMJ, '... a remarkable book ... There is a great deal of practical wisdom in this book, which goes a long way to de-mystifying even the more alarming psychiatric disorders. It is a book that should be read, not left to fester on a shelf ... I was genuinely inspired by the prospect of just how much good might be achieved by a well-motivated, holistically informed primary health care team.' Scott Weich, Psychological Medicine, "While the book is likely to aid in early detection and intervention, it also demonstrates the crevasse created by mental illness in society."
