An Introduction to Mental Health is essential reading for anyone
learning the fundamentals of mental health. Written for an
interdisciplinary audience with no prior knowledge of mental health
practice, the book uses a patient-centred focus and covers the
historical context of mental health through to contemporary issues,
including mental health law, policy, professional practice, equality and
diversity in the sector, and international perspectives. Key learning
features include concept summaries, reflective points, case studies and
reflective exercises to help situate content in the context of practice.
