Reviews

'This book is the most comprehensive treatment of the social constructionist approach to mental illness available.' - William W. Eaton 'The particular strength of this book is its ability to present both sides of this contemporary debate with clarity and precision ... it will therefore prove a valuable resource for those involved in mental health care and anyone wanting to consider the wider application of soical construct theory to particular contexts.' - Contact
