Reviews for Reflective Practice in Mental Health: Advanced Psychosocial Practice with Children, Adolescents and Adults
That said, this book is suitable for a much wider audience - anyone working in the support professions who wants to widen their understanding of what makes practice effective...I would recommend this book to all social workers and especially those who want to develop their career through acquiring an advanced post initial training qualification.
Behavioural Health Central, Peta Barber, ... Read morearea principal psychologist at Highland Council Reflective Practice in Mental Health provides a key foundation for socially oriented practice. It integrates what is still relevant from earlier traditions (including neglected areas such as psychoanalytic perspectives), and links this to leading edge research and analysis. What is particularly refreshing is its willingness to engage with the depth and complexity of mental health difficulties - signposting a way forward that is grounded in theory and research, and taking us beyond the reactive, procedural and over-medicalised approaches that can dominate current practice.
Jerry Tew, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of Birmingham, UK An excellent book and a must for the professional who wants to further develop their knowledge and practice of psychosocial practice. It is timely as social work needs to raise its game and to establish its professional identity. Using a variety of case studies showing how a range of methods of intervention can work this makes compelling reading for those who are engaged in working with people who have mental health problems. This book will appeal to a range of mental health professional and is especially relevant for practitioners who are looking to develop advanced psychosocial practice.
