Product Description

Review
An excellent book with good useful case studies and excellent diagrams. --Senior Lecturer, University of Huddersfield

This is a welcomed new edition of a very important text. It provides an excellent introduction to social work practice with people who experience mental health problems. --Lecturer, Bangor University

This book will help students meet and understand the issues surrounding social work services and service users, particularly those with mental health problems --Lecturer, University of Wales, Newport

Product Description
This new edition enables students to develop a broader understanding of social work and mental health. It covers mental health legislation (including the implementation of the Mental Capacity Act 2005) and social work with some of the most vulnerable in society. The book also looks at multi-disciplinary working and working across organisational boundaries.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all social workers/students, 15 Jan 2008
By L. Smailes "Noblesse oblige" (Northumberland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 6 Aug 2005
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.

This book goes into just the right amount of depth in the topics I need to know. It is hands down the best book on mental health that I have read.
