Yeeeeah not for me, decided against a career change. Tried to understand it a little better but woof, I cannot deal

Accessible and entry-level (i.e. easy to read). Helpfullly incorporates nursing care and DSM criteria charts for many of the disorders. Pivotal chapter for me was on Recovery Model. Recovery is possible!!! ... so argues Townsend.
