"Traditionally, for people experiencing severe and long-term mental health problems, the primacy of medical interventions has been upheld. In applying a 'strengths' model of case management to the function of relationship building, the author gives health professionals the opportunity to take a more holistic view of a client-centred, needs-based service. Furthermore, this model offers a view of interpersonal relationships that encourages a more user-empowering approach to determining the priorities for service attention and provision." "The helping relationship is examined from different perspectives: supportive; therapeutic and supervisory, but also acknowledged are the social context, user empowering and cultural influences on interpersonal relationships in mental health. The many case studies illustrate the different aspects of relationship building and serve as definitions of the many facets of long-term mental health problems." "For occupational therapists, nurses, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, Helping Relationships in Mental Health will be an essential read and a valuable resource."--BOOK JACKET
