The first major UK text on rehabilitation psychiatry for over a decade, this book gives an up-to-date overview of contemporary rehabilitation psychiatry, encompassing the shift away from ongoing treatment and institutionalisation of those with long-term mental health problems, towards rekindling hope of and opening routes to personal recovery. It offers a practical and operational guide to service development - perfect for practitioners wanting to update and reflect on their practice and is divided into four main parts: a general introduction; therapeutic practices; services and organisational perspectives; and special considerations and settings.
