This book provides a comprehensive overview of our understanding
about the provision of emergency mental health services in an era
of community-orientated care. Major research findings and
theoretical models which will shape future services are described
and illustrated by detailed descriptions of successful services
both from Europe and North America. A multidisciplinary team of
contributors detail the full range of community-based services
including acute respite care, home-based care, day hospitals and
family placement schemes, as well as the use of Accident and
Emergency Departments and acute in-patient wards. The major factors
which influence service development are also explored, including
the costs of acute care, the legal framework for emergency mental
health work and the views of service users. All those with an
interest in or responsibility for mental health will find this
insight of value.
