It is a tribute to his style that he can convey complex ideas in an easy to understand manner. There are many reasons why this book is important. The foremost reason is about education and de-stigmatisation of mental illness. * Dinesh Bhugra CBE, Emeritus Professor, King's College London *This is an excellent book from Ireland's top mental health professional.
