Enabling Recovery: The Principles and Practice of Rehabilitation Psychiatry
Edited by
Glenn Roberts, Sarah Davenport, Frank Holloway and Theresa Tattan
People with complex
and long-term mental health needs are at the heart of current
priorities in service development. Rehabilitation psychiatry offers
a positive response to their problems, needs and aspirations. The
central ambitions of contemporary rehabilitation services are to
rekindle hope and to open routes to personal recovery, while
accepting, and accounting for, continuing difficulty and
disability.
At a time when the
national picture is of staff and services in transition, here is a
gathering of considerable experience and expertise to shape, guide
and inspire future directions. Brief but authoritative chapters,
written by practitioners for practitioners, will be of interest to
the whole multidisciplinary team, service users, carers and
students of all related disciplines.
- The first major UK text on
rehabilitation psychiatry for over a decade.
- Brief, practical chapters.
- Takes the reader logically and
systematically from foundation to clinical practice to service
development.
- Special chapters on rehabilitation
psychiatry in the context of forensic services, head injury and
learning disability.

"We are delighted to
have succeeded in gathering together a vigorous and contemporary
restatement of the principles and practice of rehabilitation
psychiatry from leading practitioners working in the field.
It offers support, hope and direction for colleagues and services
in transition through a series of brief but authoritative reviews
of the key themes in enabling recovery from long-term psychiatric
conditions.”
