商品簡介
Eack et al. (social work and psychiatry, U. of Pittsburgh) offer a concise and practical guide for social work students and new practitioners (and their supervisors) that explains the functions of the mental health case manager, common issues encountered, and the basic knowledge needed to address them. They introduce the basics of case management (rather than a comprehensive explanation), including logistics and responsibilities, initial clients, working with other professionals and families, and working with issues of culture, race, and class; a recovery model approach to mental illness; ethics; identifying and managing symptoms of severe mental illness, including medications and their effects; finding and setting up resources like disability and housing benefits; managing crises; identifying and managing substance use problems; comorbid health problems; helping clients find work and stay employed; and self-care.
