Mental Health and Primary Care: A Changing Agenda Book

A joint publication with The Mental Health Foundation, this book examines the problems that confront all practitioners who treat mental health problems in primary care. It also sets an agenda for the research that must be done to discover how psychiatric and primary care teams can best work together in their care of the mentally ill. A non-partisan approach is adopted, highlighting the differences of opinion held by different professionals and by patients, and the challenges that face them at a time of rapid change.Also available:Communicating with Vulnerable Children - ISBN 1901242919Child Psychiatry and Child Protection Litigation - ISBN 1901242668RCPsych Publications is the publishing arm of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (based in London, United Kingdom), which has been promoting excellence in mental health care since 1841.
