Every so often one comes across a book which pervades every dimension of ones being. This exceptional book is one and it is essential reading. ... Such  good reading for practitioners, strategists,  leaders, policy makers and, well, everyone working and living in the area of mental health ... I have not often before  been as excited by reading a practiced based text. I hope that such an innovative approach, coupled with meticulous detail could readily be applied to other areas. This is essential reading for future, current and historical practitioners, inspiring a new vision for us all. I hope you will enjoy and treasure  Social Work and Mental Health as much as I did.  Julia Ross 20260112
