" A Fine Line is a very significant text for all those trying to understand what it is really like to use the mental health system, indeed why so many of the women who use MH Services need help in the first place. Lisa has been forthright in her account of the good, the bad and the indifferent. As the chapters go on we see a compelling story unfold with lessons for managers, clinicians and service users jumping out of every page. It's not easy but it's a must!"

Book success Well done to Lisa WB who has had amazing success with her first book ‘A Fine Line’. ‘A Fine Line’ is based on Lisa’s own story of suffering years of child abuse. The main character, Bridget, is persuaded to check herself into a psychiatric unit for what she thinks is a matter of weeks which turns into years as she unravels a sequence of appalling abuse blocked from her memory. Lisa explained: “The book has taken a long time to write and a lot of really hard work but I felt compelled to write it to increase understanding of people who suffer from mental health problems, the treatment they receive, and what life is like in a secure psychiatric unit." ‘A Fine Line’ has been reviewed well and Lisa hopes that books like this can help to raise awareness of the signals and patterns that come from suppressed abuses enabling people to access the support they need before things get worse.
I am glad the book is selling well, reports have come in that it has sold in Australia, New Zealand and many other countries. |
