International Reflections on Approaches to Mental Health Social Work

Omtale

Gathering a range of international perspectives on how social workers highlight and engage with the struggles of those with whom they work, this book demonstrates the concerns of mental health social workers, and the ways in which major challenges are being confronted, in a range of different countries and jurisdictions. Readers will find accounts detailing a range of social work approaches, from traditional to radical and from therapeutic to campaigning, but all sharing a commitment to highlighting the exceptional but often undervalued commitment of social work to the field of mental health. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work Practice.
