MHA-SF Recommended Books and Other Resources

A Mind that Found Itself: An Autobiography by Clifford Whittingham Beers. Part of the Contemporary Community Health Series, this early work of Beers is a classic account of the ravages of mental illness. Special preface by Robert Coles.

Wellness Recovery Action Plan by Mary Ellen Copeland. This little book has helped many to learn and use self care skills to monitor and (in some cases) treat their symptoms to overall improve their lives.

The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles by Martin Gayford. As celebrated as Van Gogh’s art has been, a major part of the public’s fascination with him has been in speculation about and the story of his mental illness. Through a literary montage of short episodes depicting the time he and Gauguin spent together in a town in the south of France, this book returns the public focus to the art created and imagined during this period. Illustrated.
