Many books have described the population of long term mental health service users, the services that they need, and how these might be organised. This book concentrates specifically on working as allies with individuals who are seriously disabled by ongoing mental health problems on a day-to-day basis, enabling the user to gain control of their own destiny as far as is possible. Emphasis is placed on understanding the experience of mental health problems, the effects that these can have on a person's life, and the ways in which acceptable and effective support can be provided. This book succeeds in describing the experience of serious and enduring mental health problems and what these mean to the individuals concerned. It explores factors which hinder and promote effective relationship formation between mental health workers and service users. It outlines specific interventions and approaches to helping people who experience serious long term mental health problems and considers the ways in which users can gain access to ordinary roles and relationships in the community.

The official companion book to a major nine-part television series broadcast on SBS TV, this account reveals the violent clash of culture, religion, and ideas at the heart of Australia’s history. Beginning with Aboriginal travelers landing on Australian shores around 70,000 BC and finishing with the pivotal 1967 Referendum, this account chronicles the fierce war with colonists, the bloody massacres, and the earliest civil rights movement the world had ever seen. Drawing on a rich collection of historic documents and haunting images, this Australian history brings to life a cast of characters including Bennelong, who was kidnapped by the British and became the first Australian to set foot on British soil; Truganini, known as the last Tasmanian, who was broken by the betrayal of her people; and Lieutenant Dawes, a British officer who defied the authority of the Empire by falling in love with a young Indigenous woman. Alive with colonial detailcorruption, mutinies, and pyrrhic victoriesthis is the story that gave birth to a nation.
