Mental Health Still Matters
In a collection of more than 50 readings Mental Health Still Matters reflects the wide diversity of views about how best to understand and explain mental health and distress. Drawing on writings from a range of academic sources as well as the rich and compelling stories of mental health service users themselves it provides a sharp challenge to traditional understandings of mental illness and aims to illuminate future thinking policy and practice. As a sister volume to the best-selling Mental Health Matters it combines classic writings about mental health theories perspectives and practices from psychiatry sociology psychology and service users alongside newly commissioned readings. The book is divided into four parts: * Part I discusses and critiques mental health theory in an exploration
of contemporary debates. * Part II considers social inclusion as a goal for mental health services and reviews aspects of the services in which inequality continues to dominate. * Part III offers accounts of mental distress by service users many of whom have used their experience to become teachers researchers and innovators in mental health work. * Part IV considers some of the challenges faced by practitioners alongside professional responses to the major changes we are seeing in the landscape of mental health. This is an important and innovative collection of readings which has strong cross-disciplinary relevance and appeal. It is essential reading for everyone studying training or practising in the field of mental health whether your background is in social studies health science
medicine or psychology.
