About this title

Synopsis

Recent controversies about mental health services suggest the need for a full and informed debate about the management of madness and the reduction of mental distress in society. Mental Health Policy in Britain provides both students and professionals in the mental health field with the information and concepts to explore this debate. Well written and highly accessible, it both documents the historical evolution of present services and maps the relationship between local and national government and the key stakeholders who shape and respond to shifts in policy
