CoffeeAndThorn reviewed Safe, Wanted, and Loved by Patrick Dylan
Review of 'Safe, Wanted, and Loved' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a searingly honest account of one family's journey through the experience of mental illness. Beautifully and passionately written, respectful to all involved in that journey, at times heartbreaking, at times redemptive.
This book should be a must-read for everyone working or training to work in the field of mental healthcare, in whatever capacity, helping them to understand how their actions and reactions towards the ill person impact on a whole network of others. It will be a painful and yet ultimately uplifting read also for people who have experienced mental illness or have close friends or family who have that experience.
Actually, everyone should read this book. We all have a part in this journey.
