The Healthful Gourmet Chinese Cookbook Book

Read this book for the first time when I was a young teen. It’s 2 (a bit intertwined) novellas about mentally ill children. Jordi is about a young psychotic boy and Lisa & David are 2 mentally ill teens (she schizophrenic, he obsessive-compulsive) in a residential treatment center, who manage to be of great help in each other’s healing. Beautiful stories that inspired me to want to help children. Written by a psychiatrist in an era when psychotherapy was the treatment of choice, I imagine this story is dated, but still lovely and worth reading.
