Mental Health and Social Problems is a textbook for social work
students and practitioners. It explores the complicated
relationship between mental conditions and societal issues as well
as examining risk and protective factors for the prevalence,
course, adaptation to and recovery from mental illness. The
introductory chapter presents bio-psycho-social and life-modeled
approaches to helping individuals and families with mental illness.
The book is divided into two parts. Part I addresses specific
social problems, such as poverty, oppression, racism, war,
violence, and homelessness, identifying the factors which
contribute to vulnerabilities and risks for the development of
mental health problems, including the barriers to accessing quality
services. Part II presents the most current empirical findings and
practice knowledge about prevalence, diagnosis, assessment, and
intervention options for a range of common mental health problems -
including personality conditions, eating conditions and affective
conditions. Focusing throughout upon mental health issues for
children, adolescents, adults and older adults, each chapter
includes case studies and web resources. This practical book is
ideal for social work students who specialize in mental health.
