AuthorChatsRadio

Hosted by crminial defense lawyer Elizabeth Kelley, AuthorChats features in-depth interviews with writers about their recent works.  In this episode, she talks with Lynn Nanos, LICSW, about her book Breakdown: A Clinician's Experience in a Broken System of Emergency Psychiatry.  Pete Earley, Author of Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness (2007 Pulitzer Prize Finalist), writes this about Breakdown:  "Lynn Nanos guides readers ... through our nation's shameful treatment of Americans with debilitating mental illnesses.  Only someone wth her in-the-trenches experience can articulate the flaws with such authority.  Her dedication to helphing throw-away patients trapped on a treadmill of hospitalizations, homelessness, and jails is heroic and inspiring."  http://www.elizabethkelleylaw.com.
