One of the best books on lack of mental illnss self awareness
Dr. Xavier Amador is a world expert on anosognosia or lack of insight into one's mental illness. This condition affects 40-50% of those with serious mental illness and is a major barrier to their acceptance of treatment for their illness. It is a must read for those with loved ones who won't acknowledge their illness and gives concrete steps to help deal with the issue.
If you are dealing with a family member with schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder, this book is a must read. I have had communicating with my grandson without upsetting him, which in turn upsets me. I can't wait to try this new form of communication. It has information and is educational.
A must-have book for anyone who works with, lives with, or loves someone with a mental health or substance use issue who lacks insight into their issues!
