New library resources

I woke up the other day to find a parcel tucked into my door from the postie. I love waking up to nice mail, it really makes my day. This morning it was a collection I've had on my wishlist for the library for awhile, a collection of talks from the 2008 Recovery from Psychosis conference in Perth. The set was selling for about $30 plus postage, then dropped to $17 with postage so I couldn't resist any longer. Here's what was in it:

1. "Hearing Voices and the Complexity of Mental Health Issues from an Aboriginal Perspective" 
Dr. Helen Milroy (Australia)
2. "The Personal is Political" Jaqui Dillion (England)
3. "Hearing Voices with Children" Dr. Sandra Escher (Holland)
4. "Voice Dialogue" Dr. Dirk Corstens (The Netherlands)
5. "Understanding Psychosis" John Watkins (Australia)
6. "Making Recovery Happen: From Rhetoric to Reality" Ron Coleman & Karen Taylor (Scotland)
7. "Recovery with Voices: A Report on a Study with 50 Recovered Voice Hearers" Prof. Dr. Marius Romme (Holland)
8. "Recovery from Psychosis: What Helps and What Hinders?" Lyn Mahboub & Mariene Janssen (Australia)
9. "Working with Voice Hearers in Social Psychiatry"  Trevor Eyles (Denmark)

If you'd like to buy your own, you can get it here.

My library has grown substantially over the past month or so, there are actually some books in there at the moment I haven't read yet - most unusually for me! I mentioned the new additions in the latest Dissociation Link newsletter, but if you didn't get it, here they are:

• A friend donated the DID biography A Life in Pieces by Richard Baer
• Liz Elliot kindly donated and posted her own personal biography Five Farewells from America.
• New Shoes: Stepping out of the shadow of sexual abuse and living your dreams by Rebecca Mitchell 
• Trauma Model Therapy, by Ross & Halpern
• Chrysalis: Unraveling Anorexia by Codrington

I'll be posting reviews and recommendations when I have time. All of these are available to borrow for a refundable deposit, if you have any to donate or to recommend as an addition, that is always appreciated too. :)
