Recovery's Edge sends us to urban America to view the inner workings of a mental health clinic run, in part, by people who are themselves "in recovery" from mental illness. In this provocative narrative, Neely Myers sweeps us up in her own journey through three years of ethnographic research at this unusual site, providing a nuanced account of different approaches to mental health care. Recovery's Edge critically examines the high bar we set for people in recovery through intimate stories of people struggling to find meaningful work, satisfying relationships, and independent living. This book is a recipient of the Norman L. and Roselea J. Goldberg Prize from Vanderbilt University Press for the best book in the area of medicine"--Provided by publisher.Community mental health servicesUnited StatesCommunity mental health servicesSocial aspectsUnited StatesPeople with mental disabilitiesRehabilitationUnited StatesElectronic books.Community mental health servicesCommunity mental health servicesSocial aspectsPeople with mental disabilitiesRehabilitation362.2/2Myers Neely Laurenzo1979-999073MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460835503321Recovery's edge2292150UNINA
