Publisher Synopsis
"Healing the Broken Mind is based on Kelly's research as well as his personal experience as Commissioner for the Virginia Department of Mental Health. It provides significant insights into the persistent problems of mental health services and identifies an excellent set of solutions that will ameliorate these problems. An important read for the general public, consumers, and policy makers." -Len Bickman,Psychiatry and Public Policy, Vanderbilt University "Kelly understands the mental health system with all its warts. His approach to repairing its ills is as radical as some of the major reformers of mental health treatment in history. Don't be misled by Kelly's insistence on data to support mental health treatment. This book is not dull. It is a refreshing, creative, consumer-friendly manifesto for the United States to treat its people who have serious mental illness with dignity." -Everett L. Worthington, Jr.,Virginia Commonwealth University "An excellent look at mental health policy and services. Kelly tells us where we are and, more importantly, where we need to be to provide quality mental health services to both served and under served populations." -Robert J. Resnick,Former President, American Psychological Association "A thoughtful introduction to a subject that's often shunted aside in the health care reform debate. " -Miller-McCune Read more...
