Elsevier Health Sciences Working With Serious Mental Illness: A Manual for Clinical Practice 2e by Edited by Catherine Gamble Edited by Geoff Brennan
In todays mental health services there is a pressing need for practitioners to place greater emphasis on working with users of services and to use skills that have a sound theoretical basis. This book focuses on evidence-based practice but reflects that in mental health the best evidence is the personal experience of the user. Many publications explore theoretical aspects of service delivery or provide an in-depth analysis of specific clinical interventions. However how practitioners comprehensively amalgamate theory with their practice is often missing. This book fills that gap and seeks to guide plan and suggest down-to-earth treatment ideas for individuals on a day-to-day basis.Mental health practice focusedFull of practical advice user-friendly clearly accessible and well-designedReflects user-input including a chapter written by a user of mental health services describing their experiences of mental illnessLeading contributors from practiceEarly interventionSupervisionImplementation and practice development issuesMeaningful activity and recoveryEngaging and working with carersRelapse preventionshow more
