Social Work in Mental Health brings together a range of scholarly reflections and writings on the different roles of a social
worker in the field of mental health. It provides a holistic picture to introduce readers to the wider issues of social work and
mental health practice.
Volume 1: Social Work in Mental Health: Contexts and Theories for Practice
Contexts and Theories for Practice begins with an exploration of the context of social work practice. It offers opportunities
to consider global perspectives on mental health, as well as relevant historical, contemporary and emerging trends and
ideologies from around the world.
The book provides a detailed discussion on the theoretical and practice frameworks that are based on social justice and
human rights perspectives. It not only provides an overview of intervention strategies but also directs readers attention to an
alternative way of addressing mental health issues.
The author presents a cross-cultural and global perspective of mental health, but with specific references to India and Asia.
He also addresses some of the recent debates in recovery, partnerships and strengths-based practices. The book has been
specially designed for social work students, human service professionals and mental health practitioners and academicians.
