“This is a good introduction to mental health practice for students and first time employees in the field.” (Doody’s, 2009)

"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
