Commended in the Mental Health category of the 2008 BMA Medical
Book Competition. This book offers an insight into the experience
of psychiatric in-patient care, from both a professional and a user
perspective. The editors highlight the problems in creating
therapeutic environments within settings which are often poorly
resourced, crisis driven and risk aversive. The contributors argue
that for change to occur there needs first of all to be a genuine
appreciation of the experiences of those involved in the
unpredictable, anxiety-arousing and sometimes threatening
environment of the psychiatric ward. Each chapter comprises a
personal account of in-patient care by those in the front line:
people who have been admitted to a psychiatric ward; their
relatives; or those that provide the care. These accounts are
followed by two commentaries written from different perspectives,
suggesting lessons that can be learnt to improve the quality of
care. Experiences of Mental Health In-patient Care will be useful
for all mental health professionals, including mental health
nurses, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, occupational
therapists, arts therapists, social workers and trainees, as well
as service users and carers organisations.
