The Healer's Power
Pretty good book. To the point, not filled with fluff as a lot of statistical/historical non-fiction is. The writers were to the point and stuck to facts- without making it cold or robotic. The book had just as much personal belief imbued into it as it did stats and numbers. It was a comprehensive look at mental health policy from 1950-2000. It's a bit of a bummer that this book is over a decade old, because some of the contemporary sections are so clearly outdated, and without a mention of Obamacare how can any healthcare policy discussion be complete?
However, it was a great historical analysis and a look at how the trends have been going. It will be frustrating to say the least to figure out if these trends have continued in the way they had been, but this was still a valuable read and one I'd recommend to academics in the field. A long look backwards is great for a long look forwards.
