Beskrivning
This fourth edition of Social Work Practice in Mental Health builds on the underpinning principles of the previous editions whilst reflecting how the context for practice has steadily evolved.Organised into two parts and 11 chapters, the book focuses on recovery theory, the importance of relationships and an examination of the social context and consequences of illness. It explores the perspectives of consumers and family carers in shaping practice, together with a focus on key skills such as risk assessments, working in a multidisciplinary team, working with trauma, working within a legal framework and spirituality in practice. The book maintains the key theme from previous editions of valuing lived experience, with new content on the NDIS program and its extension to cover people with serious mental health illness, further detailed analysis of trauma, working with individuals and targeted mental health interventions in community settings.Featuring numerous vignettes and illustrations from practice, this book is both essential reading for social work students and an invaluable resource for practitioners in the fields of social work and mental health.

Recensioner i media

“This impressive book offers a comprehensive and contemporary account of social work practice in mental health. It is highly relevant and valuable for students, researchers, and practising social workers. The new edition marks a significant advancement, bringing enhanced conceptual depth and practical insight that firmly establishes it as an essential text in the field.”Abner Poon, Associate Professor, University of New South Wales, Australia“This is a book for this time when there is mounting evidence of mental health problems that pervade every aspect of human service work. It provides essential reading for all those embarking on a social work profession as well as those already practicing, and indeed for all human service workers. It clearly establishes the opportunities and challenges present today as well as meeting the challenges it sets itself. Utilising new research data and important evidence from lived experience, it plainly sets out the skills and knowledge required to work independently, in teams, with consumers and with and in communities.”Maria Harries, AM, PhD, Senior Honorary Research Fellow, The University of Western Australia, Australia
