Mental Health Policy and Practice Across Europe

We are proud to announce that this book is joint winner of the EHMA Baxter Award 2007. "A genuinely fantastic resourse; such a rare text that provides such factual information for students and lecturers. A rich review of the subject areas from across Europe. Fantastic text." Chris Kelly, Programme Leader, Bournemouth University "Mental Health Policy and Practice Across Europe is a fascinating, complicated volume that looks at one of the key dimensions of contemporary mental health policy development in Europe — the role of the European Union (EU)." Medicine Weekly 
 In much of Europe it remains taboo to discuss the challenges that poor mental health raises for governments, societies and particularly for people with mental health problems themselves. 
 This book maps the current state of policy, service provision and funding for mental health care across Europe, taking into account the differing historical contexts that have shaped both the development and delivery of services. A holistic approach is adopted that aims to assess the influence on mental health of environmental factors such as housing, poverty, employment, social justice and displacement. 
 Covering a wide range of policy issues, the book:
<ul>
<li> Examines the legal rights of people with mental health problems </li>
<li> Addresses the impact of stigma, social exclusion and discrimination </li>
<li> Reviews the role of users and their families in the development of mental health services and policy </li>
<li> Reflects on approaches to reform and on the future development of services </li>
<li> Evaluates opportunities for the rehabilitation of people with mental health problems </li>
<li> Discusses the financing and organisation of mental health systems </li>
<li> Reflects on approaches to reform and the future development of services</li>
</ul> Mental Health Policy and Practice Across Europe is key reading for policy makers, professionals involved in the delivery of health and social care services, voluntary agencies, non-governmental organizations, academics and students of health policy.

This book maps the current state of mental health service provision across Europe, taking account of the differing historical contexts influencing the development of services and the ways in which they are delivered. It identifies current and future epidemiological trends in the prevalence and incidence of mental health disorders, and in particular examines trends in the capacity and development of human resources for mental health care, including the supply of psychiatrists and psychologists, psychiatric nurses and other specialities including those outside the health care system. The book is aimed at a policy-making audience, but will also be suitable for a broader audience including professionals involved in the delivery of health and social care services, voluntary agericies, non-governmental organisations involved in promoting mental health care, and academics and students of international mental health policy.

This new study provides the first systematic account of the development and current scope and scale of the voluntary sector in the UK. Recently the introduction of the National Lottery has sparked a new wave of interest from the public, the government and the media in voluntary sector organisations which operate between the market and the state. Jeremy Kendall and Martin Knapp describe how this is just one of a number of factors that have focused unparalleled attention on the sector in Britain.The authors provide a clear definition of 'voluntary organisations' and outline the historical development and legal treatment of the sector as a whole. The current financial and human resource base of voluntary organisations are then analysed. The recent development of relations with the state are explained, and the voluntary sector's contribution in the important fields of education, health and social care are described and analysed in detail. The book concludes with a discussion of the lessons this new research holds for theoretical approaches to the voluntary sector, and charts the major challenges that face many voluntary organisations and the sector as a whole as they move into the next millennium.

This text presents an account of the voluntary sector's development and current position in the UK. The authors begin by defining "voluntary organizations" and then briefly outline their history, going on to explain the voluntary sector in relation to law, education and the state. The text concludes with a discussion of policy issues - including the crucial issue of how voluntary organizations can survive in the 1990s and beyond.

The Well-Designed Mixed Garden: Building Beds and Borders with Trees, Shrubs, Perennials, Annuals, and Bulbs

The Well-Designed Mixed Garden is a design book with a difference. Written for gardeners who are passionate about plants of all kinds (hence the "mixed garden" of the title), it reflects decades of professional experience and artistic innovation. As with her bestselling book The Well-Tended Perennial Garden, master designer and plantswoman Tracy DiSabato-Aust provides not only inspiration but also scrupulously organized information on design and connoisseur plants --- all from original research dating back to her degree work in horticulture. Her new offering is a master class of design fundamentals, with an emphasis on often-neglected topics, such as site evaluation, color theory, and planning for maintenance. It is also a gallery of detailed design plans that show how ideas are put onto paper and then translated into three dimensions. Lessons learned in its first two parts are strengthened in an "Encyclopedia of Plant Combinations"; each entry notes the design considerations at play and provides tips on how to keep the combination looking its best. And the lifetime care needs and unique design characteristics of featured plants are summarized in the useful charts and lists that conclude the book. The result is a nearly foolproof guide to every aspect of designing superior gardens with superior plants. With more than 250 color photos and illustrations, this book is as much a feast for the eyes as it will be a trusted reference for the library shelf.
