Claudia Black and over a dozen world-renowned psychotherapists, including Pia Mellody, Patrick Carnes, Peter Levine, and Richard Schwartz, provide clinical, human-focused insights on healing, treatment, and recovery.

People today are struggling with an unprecedented rise in mental health concerns such as depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, behavioral

addictions, suicide, and more. The greatest barriers to getting help are their shame, their self-loathing, and the belief that their situation is hopeless. Undaunted Hope destigmatizes these disorders and invites readers to take the first step to help: asking for it.

Through the narratives of twenty-one alumni from Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, world-renowned treatment facilities headquartered in Arizona, readers may see themselves in parts of the stories-and ultimately find the courage to ask for help.

"This book should be required reading for any mental health clinician, and it is a beacon of hope for any person who lives with or loves anyone living

with the effects of trauma, addiction, or any other mental health challenge."--BRUCE D. PERRY, MD, PhD, Principal of the Neurosequential Network and author, with Oprah Winfrey, of the New York Times #1 bestseller What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing
