She has seen many positive changes in how we approach mental health – and yet she is increasingly troubled by the state of our health services. Too often those who most need help are being failed by a system that cannot adequately care for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eOn the Brink\u003c\/em\u003e, Campling takes us into the therapy room, offering unique insight into how we treat those in distress. She shows us how the progress made in a more optimistic era of psychiatry is fast being eroded; how our struggling healthcare system often fails those who need our support; and how crucial it is in today’s uncertain world that we do not turn away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCandid, compassionate and, above all, hopeful, \u003cem\u003eOn the Brink\u003c\/em\u003e is a story of troubled minds and how we try to heal them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46628086284524,"sku":"9781783967001","price":27.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4284843482823.jpg?v=1751900075","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/on-the-brink-by-penelope-campling-9781783967001","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
