<p>Although it is widely agreed that the experiences of service users have much to offer mental health professionals, the majority of books for this group focus on either conditions or different types of service provision (acute, community). It takes as its starting point the lived experience of recovery which is the process whereby individuals can be helped to understand and come to terms with their illness. The role and actions of mental health professionals is explored as part of the process of recovery. The major part of the book will focus on ways in which direct care staff can assist people with mental health problems, reflecting the accounts of the nature and type of assistance which have been valuable, and the ways in which such help can best be offered. It addresses two key components of recovery access and inclusion to life opportunities and acceptance.</p>

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.
