"This book is a treasure trove for anyone with an interest in the nature, impact, and inner workings of assertive outreach teams." --From the foreword by Kim T Mueser, Ph.D, Professor of Psychiatry and of Community and Family Medicine, Dartmouth Medical School Assertive Outreach in Mental Healthcare: Current Perspectivesexplores the experiences, successes, interventions, service user stories as well as lessons learned from the implementation experience surrounding assertive intervention.

This book is an essential reference for anyone with an interest in assertive outreach and community treatment approaches in mental health. Special features: * Provides a contemporary analysis of current service developments in the area * Written by experts in the field * Covers cross cutting issues relevant to all areas of community mental health care * Includes multiple perspectives: service user, researcher, service manager, commissioner, clinician and carer * Covers both service delivery and therapeutic interventions * Explores how the assertive outreach model is applied in the UK and Europe
