Out of the Mainstream identifies those aspects of mental illness
which can compromise parenting and affect children s development,
as well as the efforts of professionals to intervene effectively.
With chapters from professionals working primarily with children or
adults, in different agencies and in specialist teams or in the
community, the book illustrates the ways in which the needs of
mentally ill parents and their children can be understood.
The book outlines different theoretical approaches which may be
in use alongside each other, including:
A systems theory approach to work with families and with
agencies;
The psychoanalytic understanding of mental illness and its
impact on family relationships and organisations;
An educational approach to supporting staff, children and
parents;
A psychiatric or bio-medical model of work"
Out of the Mainstream" considers how the diverse groups of
agencies, specialist teams and groups in the community can work
together, even when many barriers may hinder the effective co-
working between individuals and these various groups. It will be an
invaluable resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, social
workers, health visitors, mental health nurses, teachers and
voluntary sector agency staff. "
