Worldwide, mental health problems are set to become the second
greatest threat to health by the end of the next decade. The
European Union has identified mental health problems as a growing
concern, although there is great variation within EU countries with
respect to patient numbers and the range of facilities available to
them. Historically, EU mental healthcare services have been
analysed using measurable aspects of care provisions such as
throughput, costs and outcome measures. Little is known of the
experiences, perceptions, beliefs and values of those accessing and
providing services. This enlightening new book adopts a very
different approach. With a particular focus on nursing, it examines
and critiques the state of specialist mental health services in
nine EU countries - Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, Greece,
Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom and Portugal. Each
chapter focuses on a single country and ascertains existing
services, their development, the treatments and care provided,
factors preventing better service delivery, and suggestions for
improvement. A rich pattern of differences emerge and comparisons
can then be drawn. It also explores the emergence of an EU mental
health identity in regards to selection of mental health personnel,
their training and education, and the range of services they
provide. Healthcare professionals and students with a particular
interest in mental health issues (especially those with an interest
in international approaches) will welcome the fresh analysis. It
provides vital new information for European policy makers and
shapers, voluntary sector personnel, and service users and the
organisations representing them.
