Other People

It turns out you were right all along, the problem is other people but probably not in the way you imagined.

Global reports of unprecedented levels of mental illness and our children have never seemed unhappier. We talk about mental health all the time but we really don't know the first thing about it. We don't understand what happens in peoples minds when mental health suffers. Taking the best evidence from psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychology and neuroscience, Other People introduces us to the ideas that can hurt people so badly they need help. And reveals just how much the same ideas affect us all in every aspect of our lives, including the ways we think about mental health and try to treat it. Psychology has always told us it's the things we can't see that hurt us most. Other People shows us how looking at other people can be the key to coming to terms with ourselves.
