Through a collection of curated readings, Social Work in Mental Health introduces students to key issues and concepts related to mental health. The anthology is organized into seven units with each focusing on a fundamental mental health topic. Each unit begins with focus questions to prepare students for reading and engaging with the material. Opening units examine the biopsychosocial model of mental health, the concept of personhood, stigma and stereotypes related to mental health, and the interplay between diagnosis and identity. In additional units, students read about the history of mental health, service delivery systems, medication, the rights of patients, and the responsibilities of healthcare providers. Succinct and informative, Social Work in Mental Health is an exemplary supplemental resource for courses and programs in social work.
