Mental health professionals have been forced to assume a range of new roles and responsibilities in the move towards community-centred mental health care. This book identifies these challenges, and promotes a multi-professional team approach to resolving them.

The move towards community-centred mental health care has attracted much publicity, and forced health care professionals to assume a range of new roles and responsibilities. Collaborative Community Mental Health Care identifies these challenges, and promotes a multiprofessional team approach to dealing with them. The topics covered include financial aspects, day care rehabilitation, psychiatric emergencies, intervention, support of team members and the responsibility of the voluntary sector.
