The essays collected in this 2002 book represent his latest thinking, as well as including his own selection from among a few of his innumerable speeches and previously published articles. They range from trenchant critiques of mental health service delivery and prevention to more light-hearted, anecdotal pieces on the use of language and how to get things done. All point to the core concerns for mental health programmes today: definition of needs; the role of psychiatry worldwide; and the challenges that urbanization presents for mental health. This is a book that every psychiatrist will wish to own.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50541983367441,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50541984252177,"sku":"GOR006209516","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52595479576849,"sku":"NLS9780521582438","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521582431.jpg?v=1751197849"},{"product_id":"practical-professional-and-leadership-skills-a-guide-for-health-and-social-care-book-norman-sartorius-9780443248771","title":"Practical Professional and Leadership Skills: A Guide for Health and Social Care Professionals","description":"Written by two prominent and influential psychiatrists of international renown, Professors Norman Sartorius and Graham Thornicroft, Practical Leadership Skills is a highly pragmatic guide designed to boost the abilities of healthcare students and professionals to lead and achieve their goals.

G. Wells, Mind at the End of Its Tether (1946) Doctors are trained to treat people suffering from various diseases. This is the main form of their activity and usually the reason for which they selected medicine as their profession. The notion that they should become managers and engage in activi- ties such as programming, calculating cost, assessing cost-benefit ratios, and thinking about pricing in accordance with the social utility of their intervention, is both foreign and abhorrent to them. They are sometimes willing to say how much they need in order to have a well-functioning service: usually they prefer to state what specific apparatus and other things they require without specifying the price of their demand. They can be persuaded to add a price tag to what they think is necessary for their work: but that was about as far as they would go, until recently. The growing emphasis on human rights over the past few decades, the greater emphasis on quality of life and the public's heightened expectations about their health led, in many industrialized countries, to a greater demand for health services. This, com- bined with improved possibilities of diagnosis and treatment (at higher cost ), led to a significant increase in financial demands which made governments and health-care systems uneasy and ready to accept any solution that would stop the spiral of seem- ingly endless cost augmentation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52134185140497,"sku":"NLS9780306462108","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780306462108.jpg?v=1757538995"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-norman-sartorius.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
