With 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health problem in any
given year, mental health is a more important part of social work
training than ever before, and all successful social workers need
to understand the core values, skills and knowledge that underpin
excellent practice in a modern mental health system. Written as an
accessible introduction to the complex issues around mental health,
this book has become a classic in its field. Law and policy are
clearly outlined while the authors give space to important ethical
considerations when working with the most vulnerable in society.
There are clear links between policy, legislation and real life
practice as well as a wealth of learning features.
Growing out of an interest in exploring the contemporary contexts
and practices related to mental health social work across the
world, this book provides a range of insights into the social
factors which contribute, sometimes quite significantly, to the
emergence of mental health problems for individuals and even whole
communities. The range and scope of mental health social work is
highlighted through the different accounts of therapeutic work,
advocacy, support and rehabilitation. But this collection goes
further and also provides the reader with critical analyses of
social work practice and social policies in certain contexts, thus
inviting the reader to a more reflective consideration of the value
of mental health perspectives in social work in general. Taken as a
whole, the collection suggests that social work engages with the
field of mental health in diverse, creative, and very reflective
ways, yet is always focused on the needs and rights of those for
whom problems with mental health can be personally challenging and
often disempowering. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Social Work Practice.

Since the inception of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, mental
health law, policy, practice and ethos have changed dramatically in
Scotland. This book provides a thorough grounding in the key issues
in mental health and presents a clear picture of the current
Scottish mental health scene. By highlighting the skills and values
that are necessary for contemporary practice, it helps students to
develop their knowledge and understanding to enable them to deliver
an appropriate and responsive service for people facing mental
health challenges.
