✦ Synopsis

A large number of people with mental health problems are excluded from participating in many of the key activities of society. This book covers the main concepts behind exclusion - outlining the main causes of exclusion in a descriptive model - and provides a source of evidence for the extent of social exclusion in the United Kingdom. Social policy initiatives relating to exclusion are detailed and chapters written by service users and by carers are included. The book is divided into three parts, entitled: what is social exclusion?; social exclusion - the scope of the problem; and social exclusion and psychiatry - some solutions. It examines ways in which professional practice, training and mental health services can be transformed in ways that can help facilitate the social inclusion of people with mental health problems.RCPsych 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.
