Polly Fielding had an extremely traumatic childhood. In her search
for constructive coping strategies to deal with her powerfully
painful emotions, she searched desperately and often in vain for
help over many years. She read every available self-help book and
consulted a variety of counsellors, therapists, psychologists,
psychiatrists... Her stays in psychiatric hospitals made her
realise that medication and locked doors were not the answer. A
Mind To Be Free, is an honest and open account of her experiences
and encounters with mental health professionals- the good, the bad
and the downright ridiculous. She tells it as it really happened.
It makes for a compelling read, illuminated by insights and the
occasional flash of humour. "A Mind To Be Free highlights how
extremely hard it is for a person whose complex difficulties do not
fit into simple categories of mental illness to find effective
treatment. The author has had to struggle not only with her own
problems but also with the weaknesses of mental health care." Rai
Turton, Chartered Clinical Psychologist This book and its two
related books, "And This Is My Adopted Daughter" and "Crossing The
Borderline" are available as a single-volume trilogy under the
title, "Letting Go," at a lower price than buying all three
individually.
