The Rights of People with Mental Disabilities

Synopsis

"This book is both timely and important. Great strides have been made in the understanding of mental disabilities, in the effectiveness of treatments, and in the improvement of living conditions for those who suffer. But much still needs to be done. People with mental disabilities continue to experience discrimination and stigma and are not able to enjoy the full fruits of American life.The Rights of People with Mental Disabilitiesreviews the issues and contemplates the areas in which all consumers, mental health professionals, and advocates can continue to make improvements. I commend the authors for their work."—Rosalynn Carter
