Overview

Questioning theories and practices which have become central in mental health care at the end of the 20th century, this book is inspired by the growing concerns of both the public and professionals about accepted methods of practice and their effects on patients and clients. Liam Clarke argues that while many different theories and models exist their validity and effectiveness in caring for patients has yet to be proved. Chapters examine: holism; Rogerian and other counselling theories; forensic psychiatry; and rational emotive therapy. The text should be of interest to nurses and other mental health professionals who want to develop as critical practitioners.
