Knock Knock Who's There?

<p><b><font size =4>Description</font></b><p> This is Barbara Goulden's first novel and she hopes it injects a refreshing dose of humour into the serious business of mental illness. <p>She knows from personal experience what a tremendous support the families and friends of sufferers can be to each other. <p>But perhaps few people appreciate the help patients and ex-patients can also be to one another. Especially those living in the sort of rehabilitation house featured in Knock Knock Who's There?<p>The kind of place nobody wants in their neighbourhood....<p><b><font size =4>About the Author</b></font><p>Barbara Goulden has worked as a journalist on weekly and evening newspapers for most of the past 35 years.<p>She still remembers the sense of relief she felt after finally being given a name for the condition which was creating such mystifying and upsetting thought patterns in a close relative.<p> Even though the diagnosis of schizophrenia probably helped Barbara more than the relative who was actually doing battle with the illness at least it was a starting point for gaining some understanding.<p>She went on to join the National Schizophrenia Fellowship - now Rethink - and became one of the founding members of the Coventry group.
