<span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif, Calibri;">Written by a committee of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, <em>People with Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System: Answering a Cry for Help</em> represents the collective wisdom of leaders in community psychiatry and is the third in a series of successful publications that have used Dear Abby letters as source material. The letters, submitted by readers with experience with mental illness and the criminal justice system, constitute a rich, real-world repository for the case stories presented in this fascinating volume. Using the experiences shared in the letters, the authors employ the Sequential Intercept Model to present a series of chapters offering detailed recommendations for psychiatrists, group practices, and criminal justice entities on partnering with individuals who are at risk and their families, with the goal of improving outcomes.</span>&nbsp;
