Overview

This book describes a model for generalist practice, a comprehensive approach designed to address the community support needs of adults with mental illness, that originated in New York City and has been replicated all over the world. The model serves as a template and heuristic device for the illustration of how theory and components of theory are applied in generalist practice. The book covers essential aspects of a range of human behaviour theories and components of theory. It relates these aspects of theory to a widely respected generalist practice example, the clubhouse model and shows how theory and components of theory inform and guide community building practice roles.
