'An excellent introduction to the main themes of social work and
mental health. It provides a comprehensive summary of contemporary
debates and perspectives around mental health practice. I would
recommend this to all social work students.' - Philip O'Hare,
University of Central Lancashire "This book is a timely restatement
of the central role of social work in mental health. In this
important work, Coppock and Dunn have developed a well written and
closely argued case for retaining social work skills as a key part
of a truly integrated mental health system." - Terry Bamford,
Director, Social Perspectives Network This book provides an
authoritative overview of mental health theory, policy and
practice. Exploring the complex moral and ethical dimensions
underpinning the field, the book engages with the key issues
encountered by practitioners working in the modern mental health
system. Using real world scenarios, case studies, and reflective
exercises, it asks students to critically examine the world of
mental health practice from the perspective of users of mental
health services and their carers. Reflecting the core values,
skills and knowledge frameworks required for professional social
work qualification in the mental health context, this book will
enable students to: - Understand mental health theory and practice
as a contested arena. - Recognise professional differences and
inter-professional strengths. - Tolerate uncertainty and complexity
in practice. - Develop critically as reflexive mental health
practitioners. Included in the text are practice dilemmas, chapter
summaries, and resources to aid further study.
