NEW BOOK - Understanding Social Work Practice in Mental Health
Co-written by our very own executive group member, Vicky Coppock. This book provides an authoritative overview of mental health theory, policy and practice. Exploring the complex moral and ethical dimensions underpinning the field, the book engages
with the key issues encountered by practitioners working in the modern mental health system. Using real world scenarios, case studies, and reflective exercises, it asks students to critically
examine the world of mental health practice from the perspective of users of mental health services and their carers.
