- THIS BOOK BRINGS HOPE
If you've been told that depression or associated mental disorders are something you "just have to live with" - think again. This book brings hope that there IS a way through and out of it all. I cannot receommend it highly enough. There is only one reservation - it's not a quick fix, you have to be prepared to examine some places in your past that maybe you would wish to forget, and you have to want to change. Dorothy Rowe doesn't promise an esy ride, but what she says makes so much sense and rings so true that you cannot help but be encouraged to believe there is hope. Don't let anyone tell there isn't. Depression is all in the mind? Well, in a sense, yes - but the good news is that you can use your mind to do something about it, and you're not dependant on our desperately lacking health service to put you straight! I read this book with a senes of overwhelming relief.
Rating: - Beyong Outstanding
What a relief to find a book that cuts through all the jargon, myth - making and nonsense that abounds today in the pscho - medical - counselling world. Chuck out your pills (sensibly if you are de medicating), cancel appointments with lousy therapists/wannabee counsellors and read Beyond Fear. It is truly a remarkable book written by a courageous woman who debunks all the rubbish that surrounds mental health issues, labelling and ego boosting methods designed also to meet the necessary targets.
I have a pschology degree, a counselling certificate, have been in therapy myself, searched out other self healing options, and within this context, still, am impressed with the depth and wisdom of Dorothy Rowe.
Thank you, and thank you again, for this excellent book.
Rating: - What a revelation
Having devoured this book from cover to cover in some kind of rapid unfurling of clarity and understanding, and proceeding to wax lyrical to all my friends and family, I am immediately a total Dorothy Rowe fan.
I can hardly believe that 9 years after being diagnosed manic depressive after a most spectacular manic flame-out at the late age of 41, and being an avid reader to boot, that it has has taken me this long to uncover someone who at last talks good sense about why depression happens.
I understand that when this book was originally written Dorothy was seen as controversial. I suspect that her anti medication views have softened somewhat in the latest edition given that some psychiatrists (if my experience is anything to go by) are less inclined to say that medication is the only treatment, and have just quietly agreed amongst themselves that the whole chemical imbalance thing is pretty much not provable, and probably not terribly relevant even if it was.
To my mind she is quite the sanest sounding person I have ever read. Her observations are illuminating and her advice wise. Her UK nomination amongst the wisest people in the world is thoroughly deserved.
Rating: - This is the GOLDEN GOLD OF WISDOM!! RUN TO BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
This is the most comprehensive, valuable, wise, insightful and truly intelligent book that I have ever read. True story and I have read hundreds! It is the book of books!!
Dorothy Rowe scoops the pools in the 'wise' stakes and takes us back to truly remembering how to connect with who we are.
Beware that we are all too used to 'how to in 10 easy steps' and we have, for the most part, totally forgotten to sit with ourselves and understand and be kind to ourselves through annihilating fear and pain. We find our own steps once we understand our fear.
How many people must be grateful that Dorothy Rowe decided to be so brave on paper? She literally cuts through the mystifying world of psychiatry and takes on the 'so-called' scientific literature with a glorious uncompromising clarity and common sense that rewards the reader with more information on the therapy culture than any other book written. She is the goods, the gold, the real mccoy.
A true elder!!
This book made me proud I could feel all of life, and gave me the courage (as well as me) to face what life could bring. Agony, ecstacy and oh my god, a love of little old me!
For anyone having a hard time right now, or diagnosed with a mental disorder, or perhaps several, don't give up, start reading this book - and take the bits that suit you and that help make sense of your world.
Power to you!!!!

- Psychiatrists beware
It is not what I expected. From other reviewers I thought I was going to gain some insight into my inner self instead this tells why psychiatrists and psychologists are misguided individuals in the thralls of the drugs companies.
She puts forward very clear arguments as to why things are as they are and how they could be improved upon in very simple ways.
It has helped me to appreciate mental illness far more.
