Mental health problems, and the way we understand them, are a perennial source of fascination, but there is a surprising gap in the literature when it comes to mental health service clients' own understandings of mental ill health. At a time when service users' perspectives are increasingly recognised in healthcare, this seminal book highlights the importance of clients' perceptions of all aspects of mental illness. It examines the implications of these understandings, especially in relation to clients' relationships with services.
Industry Reviews
'This book offers the reader authentic service user voices. There is the black humour that emerges every time people who use services get together, the mixed feelings about the future that so often come across, and the varying views about how much we are able to take control of our own distress. This makes it well worth reading, particularly for professionals.' - Clare Ockwell, Mental Health Today
