Know about the book -

Creative Positions in Adult Mental Health is written by Sue McNab and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0429912404 (ISBN 10) and 9780429912405 (ISBN 13).

This book presents cutting edge developments in Adult Mental Health through the presentation of creative and innovative applications of systemic theory to practice. The first section deconstructs the medical model with some of the current beliefs and practices shaping services whilst placing adult mental health in a wider social and political context. The second half of the book showcases good practice from the field. At either end of the volume "bookends" invite current clients and staff to write about their experiences with the aim of bringing a powerful personal context into the work. We intend to create a shift from third person objectivity to a first person experience as a political act which flows through the book.
