Until recently it has been assumed that people who experience severe and enduring mental health problems are unable to work, unless or until they recover. That assumption is now being challenged by international research demonstrating that, with the right support, people can succeed in finding and keeping a job even when they continue to need support from mental health services. New Thinking about Mental Health and Employment draws together the research undertaken to date and combines it with mental health service users' perspectives on the workplace to validate key points. Vital reading at both policy and practitioner levels, this book will be of great value to mental health nurses, social workers, general practitioners, psychiatrists and occupational therapists. It will also be of interest to employment advisors, government departments, commissioners, and policy makers and shapers.

Reviews
"'Delightful. Remarkable. Magic. This volume beautifully brings together the perspectives of service users, advocates, professionals, researchers and policy makers. Effective services can and should enable those with serious mental health problems and disabilities to return to functional work and meaningful vocational roles: this is a fundamental goal that is eminently attainable. The message should be clear to all.' Robert E Drake, in the Foreword"
