| mental health in australia collaborative community practice: Professionalism in Mental Healthcare Dinesh Bhugra, Amit Malik, 2010-10-28 In mental health, as in other medical disciplines, the role of the professional is changing.

The condition and situation of workers is thus considered in the context of the condition and situation of offenders, and the relationship between the two. |
| mental health in australia collaborative community practice: Mental Health at the Crossroads Janet E. Williams, 2017-03-02 This book is a challenge to the enduring status and domination of bio-medical approaches in mental health services.

Mental Health at the Crossroads: the Promise of the Psychosocial Approach is a timely analysis of the psychosocial approach as it resonates across the discipline divide, considering the past and future development. It is written from the perspectives of service users and carers, managers, practitioners, educators, researchers and policy makers, illustrated with case studies from Australia, Brazil, Italy, UK and the USA. This book presents an alternative approach to conventional thinking in mental health, providing a fascinating and valuable resource for those seeking new perspectives, grounded in theory with practice examples, in order to influence the current agenda and change practice. |

| mental health in australia collaborative community practice: Cultural Sociology of Mental Illness Andrew Scull, 2013-12-20 Cultural Sociology of Mental Illness: An A to Z Guide looks at recent reports that suggest an astonishing rise in mental illness and considers such questions as: Are there truly more mentally ill people now or are there just more people being diagnosed and treated? What are the roles of economics and the pharmacological industry in this controversy? At the core of what is going on with mental illness in America and around the world, the editors suggest, is cultural sociology: How differing cultures treat mental illness and, in turn, how mental health patients are affected by the culture. In this illuminating multidisciplinary reference, expert scholars explore the culture of mental illness from the non-clinical perspectives of sociology, history, psychology, epidemiology, economics, public health policy, and finally, the mental health patients themselves. Key themes include Cultural Comparisons of Mental Health Disorders; Cultural Sociology of Mental Illness Around the World; Economics; Epidemiology; Mental Health Practitioners; Non-Drug Treatments; Patient, the Psychiatry, and Psychology; Psychiatry and Space; Psychopharmacology; Public Policy; Social History; and Sociology.

| mental health in australia collaborative community practice: Culturally Responsive Psychotherapy, Counselling & Psychology Susan Sisko, 2025-05-10 This textbook brings together experienced educators, researchers, counsellors, and psychotherapists who offer insights on how to practice, teach, research, and supervise within a framework of social justice and cultural responsiveness. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own role in making counselling and psychotherapy more accessible, especially for marginalised communities. The book challenges the language that often stems from a colonial mindset, focusing instead on the counsellor’s critical reflection and the ability to approach issues of equity, justice, and inclusion thoughtfully as core to the work. It explores Eurocentric ideas about colonisation, binary thinking, and othering through the diverse perspectives of each chapter's authors. Each chapter tackles an aspect of counselling practice that will be reframed offering a more inclusive and culturally responsive approach. These practices will draw on six core principles: 1) decolonising education in counselling and psychology, 2) intersectionality, 3) cultural humility, 4) self-awareness and critical reflection for therapists, 5) engagement and connection, and 6) activism. This textbook serves as a valuable resource for teachers, students, and practitioners of systemic practice, family therapy, clinical psychology, counselling, and psychotherapy, as well as for professionals in training. |

| mental health in australia collaborative community practice: Rehabilitation Work Hannah Graham, 2016-05-26 Conversations about rehabilitation and how to address the drugs-crime nexus have been dominated by academics and policymakers, without due recognition of the experience and knowledge of practitioners. Not enough is known about the cultures and conditions in which rehabilitation occurs. Why is it that significant numbers of practitioners are leaving the alcohol and other drugs field, while disproportionate numbers of criminal justice practitioners are on leave? Rehabilitation Work provides a unique insight into what happens behind the closed doors of prisons, probation and parole offices, drug rehabs, and recovery support services drawing on research from Australia. This book is among the first to provide a dedicated empirical examination of the interface between the concurrent processes of desistance from crime and recovery from substance misuse, and the implications for rehabilitation work. Hannah Graham uses practitioner interviews, workforce data and researcher observations to reveal compelling differences between official accounts of rehabilitation work, and what practitioners actually do in practice. Practitioners express a desire to be the change rather than being subject to change, actively co-producing progressive reforms instead of passively coping with funding cutbacks and interagency politics. Applied examples of how practitioners collaborate, lead and innovate in the midst of challenging work are complemented with evocative illustrations of insider humour and professional resilience. This book is a key resource for students, academics and practitioners across fields including criminology and criminal justice, social work, psychology, counselling and addiction treatment. |

| mental health in australia collaborative community practice: Outcome Measurement in Mental Health Tom Trauer, 2010-06-24 In order to operate in an evidence-based fashion, mental health services rely on accurate, relevant, and systematic information. One important type of information is the nature of the problems experienced by recipients of mental health care, and how these problems change over the course of time. Outcome measurement involves the systematic, repeated assessment of aspects of health and illness, either by service providers, service recipients, or both. From outcome measurement clinicians and service recipients achieve a common language whereby they can plan treatment and track progress, team leaders and managers secure a basis to compare their services with others and to promote quality, while policy makers and funders derive evidence of effectiveness. This book will be an essential and practical resource for all members of the mental health clinical team as well as those responsible for establishing or managing services, and directing policy. |
