商品簡介
Leach draws on his years of experience providing support for people with mental health problems that did not sit comfortably within a medical or psychotherapeutic paradigm yet seem to be very important for mental health. He uses ideas from sociology--his first field--but warns that this is not a sociology of mental health handbook. His topics include rediscovering social support, social aspects of mental health and distress, the importance of supportive relationships, support in the workplace, and making it happen.
