Podvoll, Edward. Recovering Sanity, published by Shambhala Press, 2003, $25(includes US postage)
Recovering Sanity is a beautifully and compassionately written examination of the experience of psychosis and related mental illnesses. By presenting four extraordinary in-depth profiles of illness and recovery, Dr. Edward Podvoll reveals the brilliance and chaos of the psychotic mind and demonstrates its potential for recovery outside of the traditional institutional settings.
Dr. Podvoll counters the conventional thinking that the millions of Americans suffering from psychosis can never fully recover. He offers a bold new approach to treatment that involves home care with a specially trained team of practitioners. Using "basic attendance," a treatment technique inspired by the author's study of Buddhist psychology, healthcare professionals can use the tools of compassion and awareness to help patients recover their underlying sanity.
This book was previously published by HarperCollins under the title The Seduction of Madness. This reissue includes new introductory material and two new appendices.

Peter Lehmann Publishing announces the release of Alternatives Beyond Psychiatry, edited by Peter Stastny, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, and Peter Lehmann, Berlin, Board Member of the European Network of (ex-)Users and Survivors of Psychiatry (ENUSP).
Alternatives Beyond Psychiatry reflects current approaches to self-help and non-psychiatric alternatives in cases of acute emotional problems, as well as pathways to treatment that respect human rights. Ex-patients/survivors, therapists, lawyers, social scientists, psychiatrists and relatives from all continents report about their work outside the mainstream, their aims, experiences and successes while addressing the following questions:
-
What helps me if I go mad? How can I find trustworthy help for a relative or a friend in need?
-
How can I protect myself from coercive treatment? As a family member or friend, how can I help?
-
What should I do if I can no longer bear to work in the mental health field? What are the alternatives to psychiatry, how can I get involved in creating alternatives?
-
Assuming psychiatry would be abolished, what do you propose instead?
Robert Whitaker, author of Mad In America, says in his preface of Alternatives Beyond Psychiatry, "There are proven alternatives to psychiatry, programs that have a track record of helping people get better. And there are reports of ways of coping with madness on an individual level. This book hopefully will encourage many, many other such efforts to take root and flourish."
