Social Work in Mental Health Settings brings together leading academics and practitioners to explore how mental health social work is shaped and practised around the world. In so doing, it responds to a striking lack of comparative literature in the field and offers a timely, global lens on the discipline.Combining macro-level analyses with in-depth country case studies – from Brazil and Bosnia and Herzegovina to China and Trinidad and Tobago – the book interrogates how mental health policy, law, political conflict and social movements influence practice. Essential reading for scholars and professionals working in social work and mental health, this book engages with urgent contemporary themes – from feminist care ethics and community care to self-harm and mindfulness – offering invaluable guidance for those seeking a deeper understanding of mental health social work in the global context.
