'A fascinating read from a great range of writers with some serious experience behind them. Readers should find plenty of ideas to help them reflect on, or kick-start, ways of working in CAMH that might just put some much-needed change in motion.' -Angie Hart, Professor of Child, Family & Community Health, University of Brighton, UK 'This book challenges us to look critically at our own practice and will raise some very interesting discussions. I strongly recommend it not only to students on post-registration courses, but to those on pre-registration courses who have a desire to work in this area once qualified.' - Sharon Pagett, Senior Lecturer in Mental Health, University of Central Lancashire, UK
