This book considers how principles derived from a theory of human
behaviour - Perceptual Control Theory - can be configured to create
mental health services that are more effective, efficient, and
humane. Authored by clinicians, academics, and
experts-by-experience, the text explores the way Perceptual Control
Theory (PCT) principles can be applied within the secondary mental
healthcare system – from the overall commissioning and design of
services to the practice of individual clinicians. A range of
topics relevant to the delivery of secondary mental healthcare are
covered, including community and inpatient working, the delivery of
individual psychological therapy, the use of restrictive practices,
and working with relatives and carers. The book concludes by
describing PCT’s unique contribution to the field of mental
healthcare. The book, one of the first of its kind, will be of
interest to students and practitioners from a range of health and
social care backgrounds, as well as service managers,
commissioners, academics, and policy makers.

Given the fundamental challenges to society in this era, a radical
rewrite of how we approach science and culture is necessary. This
handbook applies Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to achieve a much
needed convergence across the physical, life and social sciences,
the humanities and arts. In doing so it addresses challenges such
as mental illness, dementia, cancer care, toxic masculinity and
societal oppression. It also reveals how PCT can be applied to
practical issues such as understanding healthcare service
implementation and human-machine interaction, as well as deeper
questions such as consciousness and imagination. This second volume
of the successful interdisciplinary handbook offers rich examples
of how the unifying perceptual control framework can provide a
viable alternative to existing theories and methodologies for a
timely paradigm shift.
