Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book for introducing the topics of mental ill health to a wide audience of professionals and students in the related fields of health and social care. It is very well presented, and each area is broken down well. However, my only concern is that it isn't as "multidisciplinary" as it makes out, and that it isn't as critical as it could be. It follows the medical model too much, and thus pathologising mental distress.

As a student studying Child and Adolescent Mental Health, I found this book to be very useful. I would recommend this for students who are new to the field of mental health.
