People with mental illness no longer spend years of their lives in psychiatric institutions. However, whilst it means they are not confined, it does not guarantee they will be fully integrated into their communities. This book analyses the causes of exclusion and suggests ways of overcoming them.

'It covers in a comprehensive way the most important issues in the field. At the same time, it benefits from the authors' long-lasting clinical and research experience in mental health services ...' Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica
'This is an excellent small book containing essential but rarely available information for psychiatrists and for all mental health stakeholders including service users and families ... it combines a discussion of important psycho-social deterimants of the disorders with well tested programs aimed at reducing their adverse impact and facilitate the full social integration of the service user. Beyond the description of facts arising from hard data, and not mere impressions, what is outstanding throughout the book is the repeated presence of themes and concepts that reinstate human rights values into a psychiatric practice that has pivoted around the power of the clinician and disempowered the user ...this book suits the needs of all mental health stakeholders. For a psychiatric resident it is, simply, a must.' Israel Journal of Psychiatry & Related Sciences
'Julian Leff and Richard Warner are two of the key voices in contemporary social psychiatry. ... a valuable introduction to anyone involved with severe mental illness, but has a wealth of detail for the specialist reader. ... This is an excellent book, written with great compassion and with an emphasis on the person, citizenship and solutions.' The British Journal of Psychiatry
'... an excellent resource for clinicians, social activists, family members and consumer advocacy groups. The book is well written, replete with primary references, as well as illuminating glimpses into the lives of consumers ... the authors address the topics in a respectful manner and clearly held a well-stated and justified position for social reform. Leff and Warner are cutting-edge and articulate as they delineate the steps that are required to make further progress in the area of community integration for the seriously mentally ill' those with psychoses, schizophrenia and bipolar ... An exciting aspect of the book is its cross-cultural viewpoint and global emphasis ...' Community Mental Health Journal
'... a realistic and optimistic model for the social integration of people with mental illness, well informed by historical context, empirical findings and service-user perspectives.

Journal of Mental Health
