While the style of writing is a bit too American to my taste, the contents of the book help me in my daily practice as resident of Psychiatry.

This book has changed the way I interact with a family member (if you know me well you know who I mean). We have gone from fighting and yelling to understanding, listening, and caring about what the other has to say. I can say I truly hear her now and that by taking the time to listen and respect her she has begun to do the same with me. So, this book truly changed my life.

Good quality content that helps us understand that Ill person usually don't see illness in themselves. And that is the reason that reject help, and medicine.
There is example where its explained by example that if you can imagine that everyone around, doctors and family tell you that where you life is not your real home, and that life you know is not yours.
That is how that someone would have felt.
Wouldn't you just say to all of them that you are not interested in they're help?
Caused bt Anosognosia, with is a "defect of self-awareness, a condition in which a person with a disability is unaware of its existence. It was first named by the neurologist Joseph Babinski in 1914."
Hoover there is this The LEAP approach (Listen, Empathize, Agree, Partner), that this book describes.
And there is Perma model that I know of, witch I thing is even more appalling: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement. (that one is not in that book though,I thought it's worth mentioning still.

Recommended in a lunch time presentation I attended a while back on depression. His LEAP method seems applicable for various types of difficult conversations, not just those related to mental illness. I skipped a few chapters that were not relevant to my reading purpose, but I can go back later if necessary. I read the later chapters on the related research. Those were a little dry, and some readers may prefer to skim. If you don't read every word of the book, focus on the chapters that explain the basics of how to use LEAP.
