Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. In today's mental health services, there is a pressing need for practitioners to place greater emphasis on working with users of services and to use skills that have a sound theoretical basis. This book focuses on evidence-based practice but reflects that, in mental health, the best evidence is the personal experience of the user. Many publications explore theoretical aspects of service delivery or provide an in-depth analysis of specific clinical interventions. However, how practitioners comprehensively amalgamate theory with their practice is often missing. This book fills that gap and seeks to guide, plan and suggest down-to-earth treatment ideas for individuals on a day-to-day basis.Mental health practice focusedFull of practical advice, user-friendly, clearly accessible and well-designedReflects user-input, including a chapter written by a user of mental health services describing their experiences of mental illnessLeading contributors from practiceEarly interventionSupervisionImplementation and practice development issuesMeaningful activity and recoveryEngaging and working with carersRelapse prevention Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Although it is widely agreed that the experiences of service users have much to offer mental health professionals, the majority of books for this group focus on either conditions or different types of service provision (acute, community). This book is different. It takes as its starting point the lived experience of recovery which is the process whereby individuals can be helped to understand and come to terms with their illness. The role and actions of mental health professionals is explored as part of the process of recovery. The major part of the book will focus on ways in which direct care staff can assist people with mental health problems, reflecting the accounts of the nature and type of assistance which have been valuable, and the ways in which such help can best be offered. It addresses two key components of recovery accessand inclusion to life opportunities and acceptance. Each chapter of the book looks at an aspect of recovery and clearly shows how practitioners must accept the individuals needs and work with them towards this goalBased on users' experiencesFocus on recovery as both a personal journey and goal and the basis for care and interventionsAddresses key issues - access and social inclusionPractical guidance in implementing a new model of mental health practice.
