Review:
'An accessible look at complex issues which empowers the reader to start thinking for themselves. A refreshing antidote to the simplistic and pessimistic biomedical model.' Jacqui Dillon, Chair, Hearing Voices Network This brilliantly engaging, understandable and thoughtful book describes current opinion about the causes of mental health problems and will equip service users, carers and professionals alike with empowering knowledge.' Tony Morrison, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Manchester 'What causes mental health problems? Lots of things combining together. This book describes these clearly and systematically and how they interact.' David Kingdon, Professor of Mental Health Care Delivery, University of Southampton

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A pocket sized, good value series of succinct, thought provoking introductions ideal for students in all mental health disciplines, psychiatric service users, carers and indeed everyone with an interest in mental health. The causes of mental health problems are often more complicated than we would like. This book presents straightforward summaries of the history, theories and research about the various possible causes. Because there is no single convenient answer to the questions explored in this book, competing viewpoints are presented. Readers are encouraged to focus on what fits best with their own experience and decide what might be most helpful. Rather than accept that solutions to mental health problems are owned by the medical professions, these books look at alternatives and provide information so that the users of psychiatric services, their families and carers can make more decisions about their own lives. Suitable for mental health service users, their carers, students and mental health professionals, this book presents a frank introduction to the causes of mental health problems.
