Recenzii

Whether you’re going into any speciality in nursing: paediatric, adult, mental health, learning disabilities or midwifery, mental health is going to be really important, especially now in 2020. This [book] would be fantastic if you are writing an essay on anything to do with mental health, as there [is] a lot of key information here to reference and support your essay.
(Full video review can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wc3cN1fYPg)

Key Concepts in Mental Health is written very cogently, by someone who fully understands the topics covered. The entries and subjects therein are presented through solid notions of their historical evolution, associated institutions, practices and professions. An essential guide for students, academics and professionals.

The book very much fits with the ethos of my module. I consider the applied critical, but practical approach fits what most social work practitioners working in and connected to mental health should aim towards.
