Summary
We Don't Use Words Like Crazy is a 'professional confessional' from Elliot Sweeney, a mental health nurse who works on the frontline of mental health services. His touching and often humorous memoir lifts the lid on the realities of the profession, in an attempt to highlight the need for compassion for some of the most vulnerable people in the world, and the very committed people that work with them on a professional basis.
This book is for anyone who wants to know what it's really like to work in contemporary mental health services in the UK, and why people like Elliot stick at it. Funny, frank and beautifully observed, Elliot's memoir explores all aspects of mental health care, including hospital, youth care, post-partum, dementia, community care, and the more extreme experience of working with Broadmoor inmates, highlighting a service that underpins our society and that reflects the full spectrum of humanity.
