Social Work Practice in Mental Health: Contemporary Roles, Tasks, and Techniques

by Kia J. Bentley (Editor)

This new edited book presents a "partnership" model and aims to be cutting edge, scholarly, and unambiguously useful and practical. Kia J. Bentley and the other well-known and respected contributors address the need for approachable, immediately useful discipline specific content on the most important social work practice roles in mental health. The book articulates how roles often associated with working with a specific population (e.g. those who abuse substances, persons with severe mental illness, distressed marital couples) are quite relevant and useful in a much wider range of populations.

Required reading for my Mental Health class, a major area elective for my BA of Human Services degree. I found this book both informative and enjoyable to read. Chapter 8 was my favorite as it covered the history and evolution of case management, which I found very interesting.
