Mental Health and Collaborative Community Practice: An Australian Perspective is an authoritative, comprehensive reference on the state of mental health and mental health care in Australia and internationally. It provides the latest information on descriptions of the disorders, policy, and treatments for mental illness.
The fourth edition is updated with the most recent changes to policy and practice, including incorporating the new diagnostic tool ICD11. With a strong focus on community collaboration and personal recovery and through the many personal stories of mental health care that are woven into the descriptions of disorders and their treatments, this edition provides guidance for a more personal approach to mental health care. An extended team of authors, editors and associate editors provide their interdisciplinary perspectives to help readers understand and connect with the broad facets of mental health care.
