Working with Mental Illness by Derek Tilbury
Focusing on long term social work with psychosis sufferers, this book opens with a discussion of influences on practice: how we define mental health and mental illness; and our attitudes to psychiatry and psychiatric services. Using a series of practice axioms, the book explores direct work with sufferers, work for sufferers in the clinical team and in their environment; and work with families. This text offers practical guidelines to social workers and others in an increasingly important field.
DEREK TILBURY trained as a psychiatric social worker, practising in Warwickshire and York. He subsequently became a lecturer in social work, holding posts at Nottingham, Leeds Metropolitan and Sunderland Universities. Now retired, he maintains his long-standing involvement with Mind and the British Association of Social Workers.
