Endorsement of Waking Up
I cried, was riveted every page, and can say that no book has ever had the impact on me that [Waking Up] did. Both APA’s should be touting this as a must read for every psychologist/psychiatrist to read and also give to their patients...[Terry Wise] gives hope to the hopeless who have tried talk therapy, who have tried drugs, who have self-medicated and attempted suicide.
[Waking Up] renewed my faith that therapy with a caring, well-trained clinician can work wonders or miracles...[Terry Wise] has written a book that will change the way people view therapy...[Waking Up] has made me focus more sharply on the intervention policy of our crisis centers...[Waking Up] strikes at the core of all that is wrong and potentially right with mental health services. [Wise] survived to give this message—her book—to the world. I will do all in my power to help [her] spread that message.
