| Summary |
"In a unique approach, this book links policy, theory and research with the expertise of service providers and users to explore the major debates concerning the provision of mental health services. Many of these dilemmas revolve around questions of who makes the choices and who has control. The book examines the power and demands of the disparate groups involved in the provision and use of services, before considering the different practice options and their implicit values and goals." "It is timely and relevant reading for practitioners and managers at every level, in all disciplines and from all agencies, as well as service users and carers."--BOOK JACKET |
