Rezensionen

"Pausing to thank Michele for a career of service, yielding
improvements in many parts of the world, seems eminently
worthwhile. We encourage all mental health services researchers to
read this book (Fig. 1." (Acta Psychiatrica
Scandinavica, 24 March 2014)

"Nevertheless many of the contributors show a strong
understanding of the impact of mental ill-health on people's
lives, a wish to reduce that impact, and awareness of and respect
for people's rights (even though legal aspects are not
discussed, as I describe above). In other words, though you
may agree or not with some of the contributors, their humanity
shines through, and as such the book is a wonderful and fitting
tribute to the pioneer of mental health community care, Michele
Tansella." (Potential Unleashed, 6 October
2013)
