Humanising mental health care in Australia : a guide to trauma-informed approaches

Description

“For many people presenting with mental illness, trauma is the primary problem. Written for mental health professionals by academics and clinicians working at the forefront of the field, this book outlines the trauma-informed approaches in mental health care that help bring an increasingly humanistic attitude towards mental illness and those who suffer from it. First providing a thorough grounding in the history of and evidence base for trauma-informed approaches, the book goes on to provide guidance on a wide range of individual and organisational treatment approaches, and valuable insights for clinicians working with special populations including indigenous communities and abused children”– Provided by publisher
