'BRILLIANT. I don't understand how a book on this subject can be so
enjoyable, but it is. I love it.' PHILIPPA PERRY 'Absolutely blew
me away... I cannot think of another book in the field that would
come close to this. In my opinion it is an essential read for those
in the mental health arena and anyone whose relative has been
touched with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.' JO BRAND 'Erudite,
well-researched, and full of compassion... This book will change
the way people understand schizophrenia, and that change is long
overdue.' CHRISTIE WATSON, author of The Language of Kindness 'A
truly important book. ' MAX PORTER, author of Grief is the Thing
with Feathers and Lanny 'BRILLIANT... I don't understand how a book
on this subject can be so enjoyable but it is. I love it.' PHILIPPA
PERRY, author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read 'The
Heartland is a brilliant, beautiful and bold book. It is
illuminating and empathetic and needs to be read by all.' BRYONY
GORDON, author of Mad Girl 'I have never read a more powerful book
about mental health. it has the ability to change the way people
think about mental illness.' JOANNA CANNON, author of The Trouble
with Goats and Sheep 'This is a beautifully written book that brims
with compassion and wit. The tone remains questing and buoyant even
as we move through lives devastated by so-called schizophrenia. I
hope it will be widely read and discussed.' Cathy Rentzenbrink, The
Times Schizophrenia: whether it's the associations it conjures or
the people it brings to mind, it is a word we all have a view on.
How we perceive it - and how we treat people living with it - is at
the core of how we understand mental health. But what do we really
know? How much time do we spend listening? Do we truly comprehend
this complex and often contradictory diagnosis? In The Heartland
Nathan Filer, mental health nurse and award winning writer, takes
us on a journey into the psychiatric wards he once worked on. He
also invites us to spend time with world-leading experts, and with
some extraordinary people who share their own stories - true
stories - about living with this strange and misunderstood
condition. The Heartland debunks myths, challenges assumptions and
offers fresh insight into what it means to be mad. And what it
means to be human. *This book is available in four different colour
combinations. We cannot guarantee which colour you will receive
with your order.* p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font:
