People with mental health conditions are among the most socially excluded groups in society. Mental health conditions are influenced by the social environment, which in turn shapes our social and cultural responses to the people who experience them. Much of what mental health practitioners do is 'essentially social' and the effects of their interventions are hampered by the marginalised status of many of the people that they see. This book documents the ways in which people with mental health conditions are excluded from participating in society and offers some pointers as to how this may be reversed. It highlights the need to reduce mental health inequalities and to consider the importance of material inequalities and social injustices faced by people experiencing mental ill-health. Whilst the challenges are considerable and the solutions wide-ranging, mental health practitioners can play a significant role in facilitating the social inclusion of those with mental health conditions.

The recovery approach is now very much in the mental health mainstream. Since the first edition was published in 2006, there has been significant progress in our broader understanding of how people experiencing severe mental health problems can be supported in their personal recovery journeys and rehabilitation psychiatry is firmly now established as a psychiatric sub-specialty. 'Enabling Recovery' is an up-to-date comprehensive overview of contemporary practice within psychiatric rehabilitation services. It offers a practical and operational guide which takes the reader logically and systematically from foundation to clinical practice to service development.
