## Description

As Featured on BBC Woman's Hour‘ Deeply thoughtful and compassionate’ Susie Orbach, author of In Therapy‘ A book with the power to move and inform . . . [Campling] is an expert in “ intelligent kindness” .’ Gwen Adshead, author of The Devil You Know'Fantastic new book from Penny Campling - 5 stars' Dr Kate LovettOver the course of her 40-year career, psychiatrist and psychotherapist Penelope Campling has worked with patients from all walks of life, from survivors of abuse to ICU doctors struggling under the strain of Covid-19. She has seen many positive changes in how we approach mental health – and yet she is increasingly troubled by the state of our health services. Too often those suffering from serious mental illness are being neglected, locked away, even abused. In Don’ t Turn Away Campling takes us into the therapy room, offering unique insight into how we treat those in distress. She shows us how the progress made in a more optimistic era of psychiatry is fast being eroded; how our struggling healthcare system often fails those who need our support; and how crucial it is in today’ s uncertain world that we do not turn away.
