Lack of insight

Unknown userMember03 Jan 2017, 6:53 pm AEDT

Lack of insight

I have been recommended a book by Xavier Amador "I am Not Sick, I Do Not Need Help"
His focus is how to get a patient to accept help when they cannot see or accept they have a mental health problem.

I have not read the book but have watched his lectures on YouTube and others might find his approach helpful.

Part 1:

Part 2:

This is a coping method that the Qld mental health resources for carers website suggests.

Re: Lack of insight

Thank you for sharing this resource Darcy.

It was recommended to my family many years ago, and was instrumental in helping us and our loved one.

We were able to borrow a copy from the local library. I recently needed to access this resource again and found a PDF copy (complete) available online.

I just wanted to add to your original post by providing the link for other forum members to access if they showed an interest in the book:
