Mental Health Social Work In Context (Student Social Work) - 9781032019901

This new edition of Mental Health Social Work in Context continues to be an authoritative, evidence-based introduction to a core area of the social work curriculum. Grounded in the social models of mental health particularly relevant to qualifying social workers, but also familiarising students with social aspects of medical perspectives, this core text helps to prepare students for practice and to develop their knowledge around: - promoting the social inclusion of people with mental health problems, - the changing context of multidisciplinary mental health services, - an integrated evidence base for practice, and - working with people with mental health problems across the life course. Including new material on proposed reforms to mental health and mental capacity legislation, major revisions also focus on the statutory and policy contexts of social work practice as well as ongoing changes in the organisational frameworks for the delivery of services and implications for the social work role. This fully updated third edition is an essential textbook for all social work students taking undergraduate and postgraduate qualifying degrees and will also be invaluable for practitioners undertaking post-qualifying awards in mental health social work.
