Mental health social work is at an impasse. On the one hand, the
emphasis in recent policy documents on the social roots of much
mental distress ,and in the recovery approaches popular with
service users seems to indicate an important role for a holistic
social work practice. On the other hand, social workers have often
been excluded from these initiatives and the dominant approach
within mental health continues to be a medical one, albeit
supplemented by short-term psychological interventions. In this
short form book, part of the Critical and Radical Debates in Social
Work series, Jeremy Weinstein draws on case studies and his own
experience as a mental health social worker, to develop a model of
practice that draws on notions of alienation, anti-discriminatory
practice and the need for both workers and service users to find
'room to breathe' in an environment shaped by managerialism and
marketisation.
