Professionals and students will also deepen their understanding by learning from carers. The authors have assembled, in this slim volume, a richly varied selection of personal accounts of caring, which will prove an invaluable resource for anyone concerned with compassionate care.'

How do others cope? Is it my fault? How much more can I take? This collection of personal accounts provides family carers with a helpful framework to make sense of their individual experiences and support their own coping and wellbeing. It details the myriad of positives, challenges and life-changing experiences that families encounter following the development of a psychotic illness in a loved one. The authors of these accounts are varied and include the parents, partners, siblings and children of those experiencing psychosis. This book will also serve as an excellent resource for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, psychologists, social workers, GPs and students who should find the book relevant both for their own practice and for those families they support.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAbout the Authors\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e 1.
