Evidence In Mental Health Care

Mental health care increasingly faces a challenge to be 'evidence based'. However, despite much policy activity in the UK, it's still not clear what sort of evidence researchers should be producing for mental health services, or what purchasers should be looking for. Evidence in Mental Health Care evaluates a range of different research methodologies and types of 'evidence', and includes: * a historical and conceptual analysis of what was regarded as evidence in the past, and what impact it has had in mental health care * a presentation of different methodological approaches, and a discussion of their strengths and weaknesses in providing evidence * how evidence is applied in different treatment and care modalities * different angles on the way forward for providing appropriate evidence to improve current mental health care. Evidence in Mental Health Care will prove vital for the successful extension of evidence-based evaluation to mental health services in general. It will be essential reading for researchers, students and practitioners across the range of mental health disciplines, health service managers and purchasers of services.

Recovery is a concept which has emerged from the experiences of people with mental illness. It involves a shift away from traditional clinical preoccupations such as managing risk and avoiding relapse, towards new priorities of supporting the person in working towards their own goals and taking responsibility for their own life. This book sets an agenda for mental health services internationally, by converting these ideas of recovery into an action plan for professionals. The underlying principles are explored, and five reasons identified for why supporting recovery should be the primary goal. A new conceptual basis for mental health services is described - the Personal Recovery Framework - which gives primacy to the person over the illness, and identifies the contribution of personal and social identity to recovery. These are brought to life through twenty-six case studies from around the world.

Personal Recovery and Mental Illness: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals (Values-Based Practice)

Cambridge University Press

Partnering for Recovery in Mental Health is a practical guide for conducting person and family-centered recovery planning with individuals with serious mental illnesses and their families. It is derived from the authors’ extensive experience in articulating and implementing recovery-oriented practice and has been tested with roughly 3,000 providers who work in the field as well as with numerous post-graduate trainees in psychology, social work, nursing, and psychiatric rehabilitation. It has consistently received highly favorable evaluations from health care professionals as well as people in recovery from mental illness. This guide represents a new clinical approach to the planning and delivery of mental health care. It emerges from the mental health recovery movement, and has been developed in the process of the efforts to transform systems of care at the local, regional, and national levels to a recovery orientation. It will be an extremely useful tool for planning care within the context of current health care reform efforts and increasingly useful in the future, as systems of care become more person-centered. Consistent with other patient-centered care planning approaches, this book adapts this process specifically to meet the needs of persons with serious mental illnesses and their families. Partnering for Recovery in Mental Health is an invaluable guide for any person involved directly or indirectly in the provision, monitoring, evaluation, or use of community-based mental health care.

Omega Children redefines the classical notion of Artificial Intelligence. This page-turning debut novel by Mike Slade follows former military officer Alison Blair as she adjusts to her new life outside the United Space Force, thrust into a world with scientists and engineers creating the first truly Synthetic Intelligence. The story examines the way cybernetic life could actually be created in a lab, and then tracks their development and maturation as they interact with each other and the society around them.What happens when these beings discover love? Jealousy? Hate?What happens when the Omega Children begin making more and more decisions for themselves. Can they be controlled?All the while the lingering question remains- Are the Omega Children actually alive, or are they simply systems following code?And how are we any different from that?
