I strongly recommend this book for [both] families and therapists. - Aaron T. Beck, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania --University of PennsylvaniaI know of no other book even in the same league. - Gerry Spence, Author of the NY Times Best-Seller How to Argue and Win Every Time --Trial Lawyers CollegeThis is a wonderful book bringing together the personal experiences of a psychologist [who had a brother with schizophrenia]. Dr. Amador s research and clinical experience makes this book a rich source of information and practical advice. It is one of the salutary characteristics of our culture that people who experience pain convert that pain into something productive. People who are victimized by, stressed by, and dismayed by serious mental illness will find this book enormously helpful. It contains information about new research and concrete advice that will be of enormous help to both the families of the seriously mentally ill and to the mental health professionals who care for them. - HERBERT PARDES, M.D., President, New York-Presbyterian --The University Hospital of Columbia Dr. Amador is an internationally sought-after speaker, clinical psychologist, professor at Columbia University Teachers College in New York City, the Founder and Director of the LEAPTM Institute and author of eight books including the national best seller I m Not Sick, I Don t Need Help!TM Dr. Amador s expertise has made him a regular contributor to the Today Show and a featured guest on ABC Good Morning America, Prime Time Live, CBS This Morning, NBC Nightly News, 60 Minutes, CNN, Dateline, ABC s World News Tonight, Fox News, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and many others. Dr. Amador has been a consultant to numerous companies and government agencies including the National Institute of Health. His forensic cases include the Unabomber, PFC Lynndie England, Elizabeth Smart Kidnapping, and Zacarias Moussaoui trials. Dr. Amador has over 25 years experience working with adults, families, and couples. He lives in New York. Previously, Dr. Amador was a professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University, College of Physicians & Surgeons; on the Board of Directors of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI); Director of Research at NAMI; and the Director of Psychology at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. In addition to his books Dr. Amador has published over 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers, and many other publications that have been translated into more than 20 languages. Dr. Amador was co-chair of the last text revision of the Schizophrenia and related disorders section of the DSM IV-TR (often referred to as the Psychiatrists Bible ).

'This book fills a tremendous void...' wrote E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., about the first edition of I AM NOT SICK, I Don't Need Help! Ten years later, it still does. Dr. Amador's research on poor insight was inspired by his attempts to help his brother Henry, who developed schizophrenia, accept treatment. Like tens of millions of others diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Henry did not believe he was ill. In this latest edition, 6 new chapters have been added, new research on anosognosia (lack of insight) is presented and new advice, relying on lessons learned from thousands of LEAP seminar participants, is given to help readers quickly and effectively use Dr. Amador s method for helping someone accept treatment. I AM NOT SICK, I Don't Need Help! is not just a reference for mental health practitioners or law enforcement professionals. It is a must-read guide for family members whose loved ones are battling mental illness. Read and learn as have hundreds of thousands of others...to LEAP-Listen, Empathize, Agree, and Partner-and help your patients and loved ones accept the treatment they need.

Read it in one sitting! Excellent book for anyone related to or treating someone with schizophrenia. Why they don't recognized the need for medication, and how to effectively and respectfully help them.I'm a therapist for 24 years, and wish I had read this a decade ago!Because I read this book, I was able to grieve what once was, let go of what could have been and accept new possibilities. This was the first book I read after my adult son was diagnosed within the Schizophrenia spectrum... It seemed like the author was writing about my child!!! I would highly recommend this book to any family member who is going through something like this. My son has been one year out of the hospital and I feel like it is in large part because of the knowledge and skills I learned, put into practice and continue to use to this day that he continues to take his medication and remains out of the hospital.Very informative book I found this book to be a very informative one on the subject. I have recently discovered my son has some mental illness but he doesn't think he has a problem. The author through his own experiences relates how to deal with the difficulty of helping the mental ill without alienating them. In my son's case, the rest of the family has problems communicating with my son because of their attempts to make him realize he needs help. He stays away from them. I highly recommend this book for people who are dealing with someone in this situation.
