Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Sue McNab worked as a Systemic Psychotherapist in CAMHS in London before moving to Adult Mental Health services in Oxford Health NHS Trust ten years ago. She has also been attached to the Tavistock Centre and the Institute of Family Therapy as a trainer and supervisor on the Masters courses and currently works on the Advanced Diploma in the Supervision of Family and Systemic Psychotherapy at IFT. During a period of working on adolescent inpatient units, she became interested in mother blaming and shaming discourses and has written on this topic with her colleague and friend Ellie Kavner.

Karen Partridge is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Systemic Psychotherapist currently working at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust and in private practice. Her clinical work has taken place primarily in adult mental health but she has worked across the age range and across services. Her PhD research was an enquiry into organisational change in hospitals, and she completed her systemic training at the KCC Foundation where she worked as a tutor and Co-Director. She teaches and supervises professionals in a wide range of settings and is interested in consultation and training in staff groups and organisations, and in the interface between therapy, community and organisational interventions, action research and social justice.
