Tim McCartney's and Mike Neville's little book U-Turn is a readable
and fascinating excursion through the often successful attempts of
two professionals to engage with the deep social and psychological
problems of a small state - the seven hundred island archipelago of
the Bahamas. Starting appropriately with their own very different
backgrounds (McCartney is Bahamian while Neville is Irish and
trained in the UK), the book traces the history of how they came
together and worked to combat problems of drug addiction, stress
and mental disease, developing along the way their own unique
programs based on individual as well as large group interaction.
U-Turn provides searing insights into the mental health problems
faced by small states, but goes far beyond that, to suggest
workable solutions for the managing of mental health problems in
any jurisdiction in the twenty-first century. -Brian Meeks,
Professor of Social and Political Change Director, the Sir Arthur
Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies The University of
the West Indies
