Social Work and Mental Health

With one in four people experiencing a mental health problem in any given year, mental health is a more important part of social work training than ever before. All successful social workers need to understand the core values, skills, and knowledge that underpin excellent practice in a modern mental health system.

Written as an accessible introduction to the complex issues around mental health, Social Work and Mental Health has become a classic in its field. Law and policy are clearly outlined while the authors give space to important ethical considerations when working with the most vulnerable in society. There are clear links between policy, legislation, and real life practice as well as a wealth of learning features.
