Product Description
This new edition provides a thorough grounding in the key issues in mental health. It highlights the key issues in this complex and sensitive area of practice and helps students to understand the latest policy and practice issues. The book looks at various aspects of Mental Health Law including the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the recent amendments to the 1983 Mental Health Act. The author is careful to apply these laws to everyday practice in an accessible and user-friendly way. This new edition includes updates to key policy areas such as Putting People First (2007) and No Voice (2007).

Format:Paperback
I had a mental health placement in the second year of my social work degree and knew nothing about mental health issues or services. This book almost single headedly got me through the placement and definatly improved my work with the service users. This book was also on the essential reading list for the third year of my degree at Northumbria University and was well deserving of it's place. It is easy to read and covers all the basic information as well as issues of discrimination, anti oppressive practice and social inclusion. There is also a good debate and discussion around social and medical models of mental distress and treatment. I would strongly recommend this book to all social workers or potential social worker because regardless of your field you will work with mental distress at some point and an understanding will improve the quality of your work with out a doubt.

This book was recommended as essential reading on my BSc Social Work degree and it has been a really good buy for this course as it covers the main points raised in an easy to read manner. It is not often that text books for such subjects can be picked up and read as easily as this one and I can recommend it highly for anyone doing the social work degree.

Format:Paperback
This is a very easy-to-read book, the text is set out into clearly defined sections, with easy points of reference. I have found it a very useful social work students guide to mental health, so much so I could hardly put it down, having never thought this way about a text book before, I have a few others in the series all of which are of similar easy reading and layout.
