Nidotherapy is a new concept in mental health, and should give optimism to both practitioners and patients who have been close to abandoning hope.
Peter Tyrer is Editor of 'The British Journal of Psychiatry', Professor of Community Psychiatry, Imperial College London, and a pioneer of nidotherapy. He has developed the treatment over many years of psychiatric practice and is the leading authority in the field.
"This brilliant book tells a new story about psychiatry ... I
wonder whether nidotherapy should be restricted to psychiatry - or
whether, it would enrich other medical disciplines." The Lancet
"The book is clearly written, well-structured and gives a good
account of what the aspiring nidotherapist might actually do. ...I
will be giving my copy to the newly appointed manager of a local
service devoted to improving the `community opportunities’ of
people currently stuck within our service." British Journal of
Psychiatry
"Nidotherapy is based on overt trust and optimism...it is perhaps
the ultimate personalized medicine, because its primary therapeutic
strategy is the full appreciation of the patient as a unique person
in his or her own environment." American Journal of Psychiatry
