OverviewThe 1983 Mental Health Act promised a new emphasis on the social context of mental disorder and, in particular, on the role of the social worker in its management. The authors present the findings of the only major research into the experience of social services departments in implementing the Act and its impact on the compulsorily detained. The authors argue that if the social perspective on mental disorder is to influence practice significantly then a radical redistribution of resources away from medical services and a greater confidence amongst social work practitioners in the benefits of social and psychological understanding, are called for. 001 0415105994 Full Product DetailsAuthor: Franz Brentano , Marian BarnesPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd Imprint: Routledge Weight: 0.453kg ISBN: 9780415010795ISBN 10: 0415010799 Pages: 240 Publication Date: 01 February 1990 Audience: College/higher education , Undergraduate , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
