Promoting rights, recovery and social justice - and balancing these with considerations of risk - are core themes that run throughout the text.

Suggestions for additional reading and resources are also offered at the end of each chapter. Overall the book provides a valuable framework for understanding and responding to mental health issues that will be useful for all social work students and practitioners as well as a wider audience.
