Taking a critical and radical approach, this book calls for a
return to mental health social work that has personal relationships
and an emotional connection between workers and those experiencing
distress at its core. The optimism that underpinned the development
of community care policies has dissipated to be replaced by a form
of bleak managerialism. Neoliberalism has added stress to services
already under great pressure and created a danger that we could
revert to institutional forms of care. This much-needed book argues
that the original progressive values of community care policies
need to be rediscovered, updated and reinvigorated to provide a
basis for a mental health social work that returns to fundamental
notions of dignity and citizenship.
