Mental Health Social Work Re-imagined (Hardcover)

Taking a critical and radical approach, this book calls for a style of mental health social work that has at its core a personal relationships and an emotional connection between workers and those experiencing distress. This much-needed book argues that the original progressive values of community care policies need to be rediscovered, updated and reinvigorated to provide a basis for a mental health social work that returns to fundamental notions of dignity and citizenship.
