-- Grace Barry - Registered Nurse and Blogger
Key Concepts in Mental Health is written very cogently, by someone who fully understands the topics covered. The entries and subjects therein are presented through solid notions of their historical evolution, associated institutions, practices and professions. An essential guide for students, academics and professionals.
-- Professor Carlos Pires, Pyschology
The book very much fits with the ethos of my module. I consider the applied critical, but practical approach fits what most social work practitioners working in and connected to mental health should aim towards. 
-- Mr Robin Sen, Social Work Lecturer
