Review Quotes:
From the reviews of the second edition:
"Aneshensel, Phelan, and Bierman have compiled an anthology of academic essays showing how mental illness plays out within these social spaces ... . the handbook project is readable, and as comfortable with theory as with the complex human qualities of mental illness. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries." (E. A. Danto, Choice, Vol. 51 (6), February, 2014)
