Professional Practice & DevelopmentRecenzii
`The writing style is easy to read, and the book educational and informative. The views of clients and service providers used to illustrate case presentations are colourfully written and demonstrate the different ways in which prevention can be accomplished. This book will be a valuable tool in helping to identify the needs of vulnerable target groups, and to focus the way forward in developing good practice.' - Mental Health Nurisng
`This book adds perspective to a filed that needs to be broadened by adopting a commitment to inclusion rather than exclusion.' - Contemporary Psychology
This book is very carefully argued with a balanced assessment of the scientific evidence, but this is leavened by some anecdotal material such as reports from patients of their experience of mental ill-health. ... What scope does the occupational physician have for preventing mental ill-health beyond the need to address workplace stress? Perhaps the best answer is to read the book and draw your own conclusions. The expenditure, and your effort, will be rewarded, and you will feel as if you have had a tutorial from an acknowledged expert who can guide you through the complexities of this area. - Ron McCaig, Occupational Medicine, June 2013
