A Step-by-Step Plan to Convince a Loved One to Get Counseling
Author: Mark S. Komrad, MD
Foreword by: Rosalynn Carter
About the Book
If you feel that a friend or loved one is struggling with emotional or behavioral turmoil, this step-by-step guide gives you the tools to approach, engage, and support them. While most of us know someone who may need professional help, the fear of conflict, hurt feelings, or damaging the relationship often keeps us from taking action.
In You Need Help!, psychiatrist Mark S. Komrad, MD, provides a clear, compassionate roadmap for navigating this difficult but important task. Through real-life stories, scripts, and practical strategies, he shows how to:
- Recognize when professional help is truly needed
- Choose the right time and method to make an approach
- Gather supportive allies before confronting your loved one
- Select the right professional for their needs
- Provide ongoing encouragement through the therapeutic process
The book also addresses stigma around mental illness, offering insight and information to help families and friends engage with compassion and confidence.
