Fuller Torrey, MD, author of Surviving Schizophrenia"Essential reading for anyone concerned about America's most vulnerable." -Sally Satel, MD, Yale University School of Medicine"The truth in this book haunts me with its blazing clarity.

Insane Consequences details what we should do."-Norman Ornstein, resident scholar, American Enterpise Institute "DJ Jaffe calls us back to common sense and basic decency in this deeply felt, important book." -Rich Lowry, editor, National Review "A smart and compassionate call to action."-Allen Frances, former chair of the Department of Psychiatry at Duke and of the DSM-IV Task Force, and author of Saving Normal"I am proud that DJ Jaffe, a constituent and member of the Harlem chapter of National Alliance on Mental Illness, has been tirelessly advocating to help the seriously mentally ill.
