Críticas:

This is a one-stop shop for topics often overlooked in the field of mental health. I will be recommending it to my own students. - Bob Tummey, Senior Lecturer and Course Director for Mental Health Nursing, Coventry University, UK.

Reseña del editor:

This key text book presents a critical overview of the main theoretical perspectives relevant to mental health practice and argues that no one theory provides a comprehensive framework for practice. By examining traditional models of mental health, as well as new, it challenges some of the accepted views in the field and illustrates the importance of recognising the contribution, strengths and limitations of the range of different ideas.

Part of Palgrave’s Foundations of Mental Health Practice series, this is indispensable reading for any one studying or working in mental health, whether as a nurse or social worker.
