Mental health is a fundamental component of "well-being" and is interconnected with factors that can potentially promote, shape, modify, or even hinder every level of people's lives.
Social work, as an applied scientific field, significantly contributes to the prevention and maintenance of mental health, as well as to addressing the imbalance caused by some dysfunction.
This book highlights and proposes the functional integration of social work practices that are undoubtedly based on theoretical foundations, but also extend to meet contemporary needs.
The student or professional reader will find in these pages the timeless significance of the theoretical framework, as well as a sufficient conceptualization of new practices and the prospects of social work in psychiatric therapy.
