Recovery in mental illness has a growing empirical evidence base. For the first time, overlaps and cross-fertilisation opportunities between the two bodies of knowledge are identified.
This book focuses on enhancing the repertoire of communication skills available for mental health consultation, providing tools and techniques drawn from accepted models.
This book provides an overview on the topics that working clinicians need to know about.
