Autor Tom Burns, Mike Firn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 2017

Outreach in the community is the treatment of choice for the severely mentally ill in the community. It involves taking services directly to patients rather than requiring them to attend clinics and hospitals. This approach is a significant addition to routine mental health care practice and addresses the needs of marginalized communities and those that struggle to attend appointments.Outreach in Community Mental Health Care: A Manual for Practitioners has been fully updated since the last edition, providing readers with an in-depth, practical guide to mental health care in the community setting today. It addresses the significant changes in mental health service organizations over the years, including the various new teams devised and the importance of central planning and targets. The authors Tom Burns and Mike Firn are pioneers in this field of research and are active in community outreach as practitioners, researchers, and supervisors. In 29 chapters they cover key discussions in conceptual issues, health and social care practice, management and development, which provides readers with an insight into the reality of community outreach work.

Recenzii

. . . the strength of the book lies in its open and honest discussion of the problems that are faced by mental health professionals working in community settings. The authors set out to reflect issues that concern multidisciplinary teams on a day-to-day basis, and this is exactly what they have succeeded in doing. The book is filled with interesting observations and sound advice.
Burns and Firn's book is a comprehensive guide to assertive outreach practice, and is essential reading for anyone working in this specialism.
Assertive outreach is a central plank of the government's mental health care reforms, yet we still lack any clear definition of its role in relation to other forms of care. Burns and Firn's book is thus very timely.
