Samenvatting

This book offers an alternative and thought-provoking perspective to the conventional and orthodox understanding of mental health and how to help those suffering with mental illness. It will appeal to social workers in mental health contexts as well as students on post qualifying courses and the Masters Degree in Social Work.



The World Health Organisation recently confirmed that mental Illness was set to become the biggest threat to human well-being in the twenty first century. Mental illness accounts for more disability adjusted life years lost per year than any other health condition in the UK. No other health condition matches mental ill health in the combined extent of prevalence, persistence and breadth of impact.

This book will appeal to social workers in mental health contexts as well as students on post qualifying courses and the Masters Degree in Social Work. It offers an alternative and thought-provoking perspective to the conventional and orthodox understanding of mental health and how to help those suffering with mental illness. Doctors, psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and nurses will also find much of value within this book.

“This book draws on multiple perspectives to provide an urgently needed antidote to the sterile and ineffective ideology of biological psychiatry that has dominated our understanding of human distress, and our mental health services, for far too long.”

Professor John Read, Psychology Department, University of Auckland; Editor of 'Models of Madness'
