Mental health nursing – consultation, facilitation, advocacy
Mental health nurses need grounding and information in order to question practice, to contribute to decision making in multi-disciplinary teams, and to draw on research-based knowledge in the delivery of care and the development of mental health services. It is hoped that much of this chapter contributes to meeting such needs. Thus, how ‘grounded’ nurses […]

Mental health and mental illness distinguish
This chapter has argued for mental health and mental illness distinguish. At present most policy and practice is based on the conflation of the two under the one referent ‘mental health’. In effect this conceptualizes the two on one continuum which I represent as a slide (as that is what people seem to fear) from […]

Mental health – concepts, paradigms, elements
There are, no doubt, as many definitions of mental health as there are readers of this book. Although some authors offer definitions of mental health, they are inevitably subjective, partial and, at worst, simplistic – Making It Happen defines mental health as ‘thinking, feeling and physical health and well-being’ and the relationship between the three […]

What is holistic health
The roots of the English word for health, in Old English and Old High German, link it to wholeness and healing: ‘etymologically speaking … to be healthy is to be whole or holy, which clearly embraces both spiritual and physical features rather than merely the latter’. The grammar of health, then, is one that implies […]

User perspectives on mental disorders
Thus far, we have proposed a four-quadrant schema for understanding human experience and have described disordered human experience in terms of classification systems, incidence data and symptomatology. They objectify human experience into codified systems of description, including numbers. So, having proposed a four-quadrant integration we have subsequently planted our feet firmly in only one! Well, […]

Prevalence and symptomatology of mental disorders
Prevalence, expressed as a percentage, refers to the number of people with a particular disorder within a given population. Incidence, on the other hand, also expressed as a percentage, refers to the number of new cases that arise within a given population in a given time period. Actual estimates of prevalence and incidence of mental […]

Serious mental illness and common mental health problems
A further distinction between different types of mental disorder is made with reference to ‘serious mental illness’ (SMI) and ‘common mental health problems’. Current mental health policy and practice is influenced significantly by the concept of SMI, the origins of which are many, but we draw attention to two predominant influences from the last decade.

The classification of mental disorder
Systems for classifying mental disorder or ‘illness’ stem from the medical model, which as Tyrer and Steinberg (1998) point out is not an aetiological model itself but an approach to diagnosing individual disorder. In a general sense all models apply this process, with exception perhaps of the social model, although the systems that are used […]

Ethnicity and mental disorder
The flow of people across continents, which is an increasingly common feature of modern life, provides a clear example of how social forces can affect a person’s mental health. Many of these people will have fled unimaginable psychological and physical pain in an attempt to find respite and asylum. This group is particularly vulnerable to […]

Gender and mental disorder
The literature consistently reports fewer women to be in receipt of specialist mental health services than men. Though this may reflect a lower prevalence of mental disorder among women, evidence suggests that the phenomenon is a marker for the diagnostic practices and expectations of practitioners, which are different for men than for women. For example, […]
