It starts from the premise that contemporary mainstream psychiatry and psychology struggle to capture how distress results from complex embodied arrays of social experiences that are embedded within specific historical, cultural, political and economic settings. The authors challenge mainstream understandings of mental health that position a naive public in need of mental health literacy. Instead it is clear that a considerable amount of invaluable mental distress work is undertaken in spaces in our communities that are not understood as mental health treatments. This book represents one of the first attempts to position these kinds of spaces at the center of how we understand and address problems of mental distress and suffering. The chapters draw on case studies from the UK and abroad to point toward an exciting new paradigm based on informal communityand socially oriented approaches to mental health. Written in an unusually accessible and engaging style, this book will appeal to social science students, academics, practitioners and policy makers interested in community and social approaches to mental health. 606 $aPsychology, Pathological 606 $aClinical psychology 606 $aCritical psychology 606 $aCommunity development 606 $aSocial service 606 $aPsychotherapy 606 $aPsychopathology 606 $aClinical Psychology 606 $aCritical Psychology 606 $aSocial Work and Community Development 606 $aPsychotherapy 606 $aSocial Work 615 0$aPsychology, Pathological. 615 0$aClinical psychology. 615 0$aCritical psychology. 615 0$aCommunity development. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aPsychotherapy. 615 14$aPsychopathology. 615 24$aClinical Psychology. 615 24$aCritical Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Work and Community Development. 615 24$aPsychotherapy. 615 24$aSocial Work. 676 $a616.89 700 $aWalker$b Carl$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0766715 702 $aHart$b Angie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHanna$b Paul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254809503321 996 $aBuilding a New Community Psychology of Mental Health$92128274 997 $aUNINA
