Critical Issues in Child and Adolescent Mental Health

by Sarah Campbell, Dinah Morley, Roger Catchpole

Overview

In this thought-provoking text, a collection of respected authors with a wealth of academic and practice experience come together to challenge some of the prevailing ideas serving as the foundation for the current child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) structure.

Providing a fresh new perspective on critical issues and seeking to stimulate reflection and debate; from managers and commissioners to newly qualified practitioners and students, this book will both challenge and energise readers, spurring them on to reconsider some of the pressing CAMH issues of our time.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A fascinating read from a great range of writers with some serious experience behind them. Readers should find plenty of ideas to help them reflect on, or kick-start, ways of working in CAMH that might just put some much-needed change in motion.' –Angie Hart, Professor of Child, Family & Community Health, University of Brighton, UK
