Social Work and Mental Health by Malcolm Golightley
The range of mental health problems experienced by people in society is extensive and varied, with estimates that one in four people will experience mental health problems at some time in their lives. This second edition provides a thorough grounding in key mental health issues and, by highlighting the skills and values that are necessary for contemporary practice, helps students to develop the knowledge and understanding needed to deliver an appropriate and responsive service for people facing mental health challenges. It has been updated to reflect new mental health legislation and includes increased coverage of children and adolescent mental health.
