Models of Mental Health, Paperback

This book presents a critical overview of the main theoretical perspectives relevant to mental health practice. Models of Mental Health takes a broad perspective, offering students an accessible and clearly structured introduction to the range of established and developing theoretical perspectives that influence mental health policy and practice.

The book argues that no one theory provides a comprehensive framework for practice and in turn it examines traditional models of mental health as well as new and challenging ideas in the field.
