This book is unique in that it specifically addresses the concerns
that counsellors and psychotherapists may have about the mental
health of their clients. It is published at a time of significant
change in the management and treatment of mental illness both
within the UK and internationally. In addition the roles of mental
health practitioners and counsellors within NHS practice are
undergoing notable review.
The content provides a comprehensive introduction to
contemporary issues in mental health, sign posting the importance
and relevance of the topic to those working within the counselling
and psychotherapy fields. The background to the current context of
mental health care, treatment and management both within the UK and
globally is outlined and definitions of mental health are discussed
by way of drawing attention to the complex and diverse
understanding of what constitutes mental illness.
