Community Mental Health in Canada: Theory, Policy, And Practice: Policy, Theory and Practice - Rilegato
At least 5 percent of Canada's population suffers from a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. While recent years have seen many changes and, arguably, improvements concerning how society responds to the mentally ill, there remain divisions of opinion among stakeholder groups regarding the way mental health services are delivered. "Community Mental Health in Canada" is a timely, critical overview of public mental health services in Canada, looking at where we have come from, the current situation, and where we may be heading. Simon Davis examines the prevalence and impact of mental illness in Canada, and how public treatment programs define their eligibility criteria. He explicates the complementary and conflicting interests of stakeholder groups - mental health professionals, clients, families, government, and drug companies - and examines initiatives in treatment, rehabilitation, housing, and criminal justice programs with reference to the best practices literature. Davis also includes chapters on the clinical benefits and costs of particular interventions, the recovery model, diversity and cultural competence, and the legal and ethical basis of mental health practice, particularly as it applies to the use of coercion and involuntary treatment. "Community Mental Health in Canada" offers an understanding both of clinical mental health practice and the structural context in which it is situated. This book will be a valuable resource for senior level undergraduates starting or considering a career in health care, while also providing a useful overview to others interested in the way we provide services to our most vulnerable citizens.
