About this product
Product Information
Often people with mental illness feel alone in society, with no place to go and little hope. Their isolation can be further perpetuated through typical approaches to treatment, such as case management and psychotherapy. Since 1948, the Fountain House "working community" has worked to address the isolation and social stigmatization faced by people with mental illness. This volume describes in detail its evidence-based, cost-effective, and replicable model, which produces substantive outcomes in employment, schooling, housing, and general wellness. Through an emphasis on personal choice, professional and patient collaboration, and, most important, "the need to be needed," Fountain House demonstrates that people with serious mental illness can not only live but also contribute and thrive in society. The authors also explore the evolution of Fountain House practice, which is grounded in social work and psychiatry and informs current strength-based and recovery methodologies. Its inherent humanity, social inclusivity, message of personal empowerment, and innovation--a unique approach on behalf of people suffering from mental illness--have led to the paradigm's worldwide adoption.

The concept of a community -- working and living together -- as therapeutic milieu for those with mental illness is one that has stood the test of time. After falling out of fashion for a period with the demise of the state hospital system, therapeutic communities are now coming back, providing not only the medications and therapies crucial for treating mental illness but also a sense of belonging ('the need to be needed') and identity which are equally vital. For nearly a century, Fountain House has been at the forefront here, and its model has influenced institutions around the world. This book, rooted in a historical perspective, illuminates the principles and practices that have guided Fountain House since its beginnings. It is a document, above all, of hope., In this important book, the authors explore John Beard's unique contribution to Fountain House, showing the reader how the idea of therapeutic community works and thrives within this landmark organization. The book makes a significant contribution to the literature on clubhouse, drop-in, and milieu-treatment centers. In their formulation of 'working community,' the authors give shape and definition to what it means for people in recovery to be in and with community, a deeply human concern that has been under-theorized in contemporary clinical literature., The concept of a community--working and living together--as therapeutic milieu for those with mental illness is one that has stood the test of time.

Alan Doyle, together with his colleagues Kenneth J. Dudek and Julius Lanoil, fills that gap with a wonderfully readable account of the Fountain House model of social practice. The approach has at its heart the tenets of milieu therapy, yet builds upon these to create a physical and emotional environment in which people feel needed and empowered through coaching relationships with staff emphasizing strengths, choice, and self-determination.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
