"This is not a handbook for medical treatment but is intended to encourage students of mental health to consider broader perspectives than are offered by the medical model, including patients’ psychological, social and spiritual needs." (Journal of Analytical Psychology, February 2009)
"This book is a collection of well-structured chapters by contributors who are well known in the field of mental health. One of its strengths is the strong focus on work generated by experts by experience, supported by a variety of academics and professionals working in the field. In addition, the book acknowledges a range of different disciplines that it might appeal to, fitting in with the wider multifactorial nature of health, and the increasing move towards partnership education and practice." (Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, 2011)
"...the strong ethical and political dimensions of the book
result in a compelling and unified message. Indeed, the reviewer
has already found several occasions to refer to the work." British
Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2010
"Not only is the book very in-depth but it is also extremely well
presented – so much so that it is truly a joy to read. You
can flick open at any page and be guaranteed a wealth of insight
and information ready for you to digest. Diagrams, case-studies,
activities and more are employed throughout to keep the reading
easy and exciting. This is not a book you simply pick-up and read,
you really get into it and enjoy doing so, whilst gaining valuable
insight into mental health practice." British Psychological
Society, Clinical Psychology Forum
