I didn't finished this month's book so started another book called "I am not sick, I don't need help! : how to help someone with mental illness accept treatment" by Dr. Xavier Amador all about "anosognosia". I didn't suggest it as book club selection since I doubt most libraries have it and it's intended more for family members and mental health professionals than people with mental illness. It was mostly on how to deal with the mentally ill person to get them to be compliant with treatment without alienating them. A lot of case studies and examples with author's brother and clients.

I have to say that I've been skeptical about anosognosia as a symptom and he does talk a lot about studies which back it up. It didn't do more to convince me though I guess I should read the original papers. He sounded like a caring provider and brother. Any how, if anyone has thoughts on either book or anosognosia in general feel free to post.
