Mental illness - when we hear those words, many of us feel a little uncertain or uneasy, because we don't understand what mental illness is. And perhaps we feel a little scared because of the images of mental illness we see in the media. This guidebook explores the meaning of psychiatric diagnosis and the principles that underpin them. It broadly outlines the causes of mental health difficulties and points the way toward recovery. The aim is to provide workers with a useful overview of the world of mental health and disorder. Other guides examine particular issues in practice and strategies for coping with them. That is not the focus here. Before we can know 'what' to do it is helpful to understand 'why'. This book deals with the realities that lead to the 'why' of practice.
