People with complex and long-term
mental health needs are at the heart of current priorities in
service development. Rehabilitation psychiatry offers a positive
response to their problems, needs and aspirations. The central
ambitions of contemporary rehabilitation services are to rekindle
hope and to open routes to personal recovery, while accepting, and
accounting for, continuing difficulty and disability.
At a time when the national picture is
of staff and services in transition, here is a gathering of
considerable experience and expertise to shape, guide and inspire
future directions. Brief but authoritative chapters, written by
practitioners for practitioners, will be of interest to the whole
multidisciplinary team, service users, carers and students of all
related disciplines.
- The first major UK text on
rehabilitation psychiatry for over a decade.
- Brief, practical chapters.
- Takes the reader logically and
systematically from foundation to clinical practice to service
development.
- Special chapters on rehabilitation
psychiatry in the context of forensic services, head injury and
learning disability.

the better and for life - it's that good!"

"We are delighted to have succeeded in
gathering together a vigorous and contemporary restatement of the
principles and practice of rehabilitation psychiatry from leading
practitioners working in the field. It offers support, hope
and direction for colleagues and services in transition through a
series of brief but authoritative reviews of the key themes in
enabling recovery from long-term psychiatric conditions.”
