This book was released on 2006-01-04 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practitioners in Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) frequently find that traditional forms of support are ineffective when offered to patients with personality disorder. This book considers the various difficulties encountered, with reference to current thinking about the origins, maintenance and treatment of personality disorder. Written by practitioners for practitioners, it provides a framework for developing effective care plans with minimal use of technical terms and jargon. Rather than promote an approach based on a single theoretical model, consideration is given to ways in which different approaches can be effectively combined within a multi-disciplinary team. The book is divided into two sections. The first outlines recent government initiatives relating to personality disorder and introduces key theories underlying psychological and biological treatments. The second focuses specifically on the role of the CMHT in relation to patients with these difficulties, including: the assessment of personality functioning developing coherent plans for treatment and support optimising the therapeutic relationship managing self-harming behaviour particular challenges faced by CMHTs, and how to overcome them the views of service users involving family, friends and carers. Personality Disorder and Community Mental Health Teams deals with the reality of services today. It is essential reading for all mental health practitioners in CMHTs working with people with personality disorder.

Download or read book Beyond Clinical Dehumanisation towards the Other in Community Mental Health Care written by Catherine A. Racine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Clinical Dehumanisation Toward the Other in Community Mental Health Care offers a rare and intimate portrayal of the moral process of a mental health clinician that interrogates the intractable problem of systemic dehumanisation in community mental health care and looks to the notion of "wonder" and the visionary relational ethics of Emmanuel Levinas for a possible cure. An interdisciplinary study with transdisciplinary aspirations, this book contributes an original and compelling voice to the emerging therapeutic conversation attempting to re-imagine and transcend the objectifying constraints of the dominant discourse and the reductive world view that drives it. Chapters bring into dialogue the fields of community mental health care, psychology, psychology and the Other, the philosophy of wonder, Levinasian ethics, clinical ethics, the moral research of autoethnography and the medical humanities, to consider the defilement of the vulnerable help seeker, the moral injury of the clinician and look for answers beyond. This book is an ethical primer for mental health professionals, researchers, educators, advocates and service users working to re-imagine and heal a broken system by challenging the underpinnings of entrenched dehumanisation and standing with those they "serve".

Download or read book Mental Health Professionals Attitudes Toward Clients with Antisocial Personality Disorder written by Edward T. Dunbar (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clients with personality disorder are treated throughout the United States' healthcare system. Research suggests that mental health professionals' attitudes' toward clients with personality disorders are poor. However, research specific to clients with antisocial personality disorder was lacking. The current study examined the influence of social learning factors (i.e., level of clinical contact and history of criminal victimization) on mental health professionals' attitudes toward clients with antisocial personality disorder. The population of study was Medicaid-approved providers. The purposive sample included 98 Medicaid-approved mental health providers in North Carolina. The study used an online survey design, and participants completed an author-developed Demographic Questionnaire and the Adapted-Attitudes toward Personality Disorders Questionnaire. Three research questions examined the main effects of level of clinical contact, history of criminal victimization, and interaction effects on mental health professionals' attitudes toward clients with antisocial personality disorder. A factorial MANOVA and follow-up univariate ANOVAs revealed a statistically significant main effect for level of clinical contact with clients with antisocial personality disorder on participants' attitudes scores as measured by the Adapted- Attitudes toward Personality Disorders Questionnaire. No main effect for history of criminal victimization nor interaction effect was detected. Findings support that the social learning factor of level of clinical contact significantly influences mental health professionals' attitudes toward clients with antisocial personality disorder. Findings hold implications for mental health professionals, mental health supervisors, mental health educators, and mental health researchers.
