商品簡介
Coppock and Dunn (social work and mental health and social and psychological sciences, Edge Hill U., UK) explore the historical, theoretical, and political contexts related to changes in mental health law and policy in the UK and their impact on practitioners and users of mental health services and their carers. They identify contributions social work brings to mental health and focus on the belief that social work makes an important contribution to advancing a social model of mental health theory and practice. They outline the knowledge, understanding, skills, and values of professional social work practice for students and practitioners, from the perspectives of users, carers, and mental health professionals. Included are discussions of treatment approaches, discrimination and inequalities, interprofessional work, and policy developments. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
