<P><FONT size=2>Dear Lauren,<BR><BR>Re 'Barking Mad: Too much therapy is never enough' by Andee Jones<BR><BR>As a retired psychologist, author and long-term client of therapy, I'm<BR>writing to you about my new book, 'Barking Mad: Too much therapy is<BR>never enough.' Highly topical in the wake of the November 1 cuts to<BR>Better Access, 'Barking Mad' speaks to the issue of clients' right to<BR>choose between different types of funded mental healthcare.<BR><BR>As one reviewer notes: "This book highlights the hottest political<BR>topic of the moment—mental illness—and its most controversial aspect:<BR>how much choice should consumers have in the type of professionals<BR>they consult to deal with their condition?"—BARBARA BIGGS Consumer<BR>Advocate, Mental Health Council of Australia<BR><BR>The story is about trying to get a grip, losing it, trying, losing ...<BR>and so on throughout forty years of my experience as a client of<BR>therapy, a dozen therapists and a ton of trouble.<BR><BR>THE AGE review extract: "What marks the book out in part is Jones’s<BR>political awareness. She is acute on the politics and ethics of<BR>therapy and her vignettes pay close attention to the atmospherics and<BR>theatre of therapy, the non-scientific everydayness of the<BR>transaction"<BR><BR>Please find attached a media release (with book extract). Would you<BR>let me know if the The Australian Community Psychology is<BR>interested in reviewing the book or in publishing a review or extract<BR>from it? I would be pleased to drop a complimentary copy of 'Barking<BR>Mad' in the mail.<BR><BR>Both SMH and New Matilda have published articles I've written on the<BR>cuts to Better Access (see links from www.publishinink.com.au)<BR><BR>I look forward to hearing from you.<BR>Kind regards,<BR>Andee Jones<BR>www.publishinink.com.au 03 9866 5126 0415 12 13 12<BR><BR>Author bio<BR>The author is a retired psychologist and long-term client of therapy.<BR>'Barking Mad' is her second book. Andee's 2010 memoir 'Kissing Frogs'<BR>has been adapted as ‘RU4Me’, the one-woman hit show starring<BR>AFI-award-winner Annie Byron. Extracts from both books have won<BR>literary commendation.<BR><BR>More reviews of 'Barking Mad'<BR>A brave, funny, broken-hearted book that fights its way to wisdom—HELEN GARNER<BR>Humane, good-humoured and immensely helpful. To turn this book’s pages<BR>is far, far better than popping pills—PHILLIP ADAMS<BR>Andee Jones has written the book that all therapists and would-be<BR>therapists should read. Those seeking therapy should use the book as a<BR>guide in their search for that great rarity, a pearl beyond price, a<BR>good therapist—DOROTHY ROWE<BR>In gratitude to Andee Jones for her courage and clarity in sharing the<BR>lessons of her own personal and professional journeys, finding hope<BR>and understanding even in the face of tragedy and loss—TIM COSTELLO<BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
