McGill-Queen's University Press A Sadly Troubled History
Book SynopsisMore people die by suicide each year than by homicide, wars, and terrorist attacks combined. Witnesses and survivors are left perplexed and troubled. Doctors, clinical psychologists, and social workers try to deal with it through their professional routines; sociologists and psychiatrists attempt to provide theoretical explanations of it. In a study of nearly 7000 suicides from 1900 to 1950 in New Zealand and Queensland, Australia, John Weaver documents the challenges that ordinary people experienced during turbulent times and, using witnesses'' testimony, death bed statements, and suicide notes, reconstructs individuals'' thoughts as they decide whether to endure their suffering. Bridging social and medical history, Weaver presents an intellectual and political history of suicide studies, a revealing construction and deconstruction of suicide rates, a discussion of gender, life stages, and socio-economic circumstances in relation to suicide patterns, reflections on reasoning processes

Berghahn Books Journeys Into Madness Mapping Mental Illness in
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays uses the framework of journeys in order to highlight the diverse artistic, cultural, and medical responses to a peculiarly Viennese anxiety about the madness of modern times. The travelers of these journeys vary from patients to doctors, artists to writers, architects to composers, and royalty to tourists...Trade Review “The chapters are of consistently high quality and, when taken together, nicely illuminate what Plumley calls the “rich interdisciplinary seam of madness and artistic modernity”. They unearth interesting linkages between the different disciplines and convincingly show the centrality of madness and “mad spaces” to a wide range of cultural expressions… fascinating interrogation of the borders, boundaries, and spaces of madness and modernism at the turn of the century.” · German Studies Review “Beyond meeting its own expectations as delineated by its editors, this volume demonstrates extremely well the range of questions that remain to be explored regarding the cultural history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This achievement is an additional reason for its inclusion in advanced undergraduate and graduate seminars.” · Austrian History Yearbook “The essays, representing a variety of disciplines and approaches, contribute new ways to look at mental illness in the Austrian context…a valuable collection that provides insight into the way mental illness was understood and functioned at a particular time and place in history, topic that is still relevant for today and the future.” · Habsburg – H-Net ReviewsTable of Contents Note on Contributors Introduction Gemma Blackshaw and Sabine Wieber Chapter 1.

Floris Books Discovering Camphill
Book SynopsisThis important book brings together research from scholars and experts in a variety of disciplines to explore a broad range of issues which affect Camphill life. The essays examine social, political and educational topics as diverse as spiritual needs, residential childcare, disabled identity, working with autistic children and the development of Camphill communities around the world.The lack of easily accessible literature about Camphill communities has contributed to a common and unjustified perception of Camphill as ''closed'' communities which have little interest in communicating with the ''the outside world''. Some influential officials and practitioners who determine education and social-work policy and practice still know little or nothing about Camphill, which increases the risk of misunderstanding and threatens the future of Camphill communities. This book seeks not only to bridge that gap, but to demonstrate to a wider audience the unique and inspiring qualities of Camphill communities.This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the provision of services for children and adults with special needs.Trade Review'Before reading this book, I thought I knew Camphill. Now that I have read it, I realise how much my thinking was in error, based as it was on what one of the authors calls the 'myths of Camphill and its founder'. This book, easily readable and well presented for the curious, offers some fascinating perspectives on a phenomena of caring about which, I suspect, many of us have known little. It bridges effectively the gap between Camphill and the 'outside world', a gap which has been of concern to supporters and critics alike over the past years. Here we find a window into a world of caring in which many of the contemporary values of child and youth care practice have been in evidence from the initial founding. To treat each person individually, to live together in a caring relationship of mutual trust, to be aware of self -- all of these stand out as not only a bridge between Camphill and the outside world, but between the past and the present in the practice of caring. As Social Pedagogy becomes of greater interest, this book has much to offer.'-- Dr Thomas Garfat, child and youth care worker, and Editor of Relational Child and Youth Care Practice journal'This is a remarkable book. Rarely does one find a program of any kind willing to open itself up to such intensive internal and external critical examination. Through the wide-ranging perspectives presented, the reader will indeed "discover Camphill", and find it to be an impressive global movement in support of the integrity of persons and the wholeness of human life.'-- James P. Anglin, PhD, Professor of School of Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria, Canada'This is a deeply impressive collection -- impressive in its scope and depth, its worldwide coverage and its inter-disciplinary range. But most of all what is impressive is the enduring humanity and compassionate engagement of the Camphill approach, which these authors so movingly describe, analyse and evaluate. Thoroughly recommended!'-- Adrian Ward, Consultant Social Worker, Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust, London'The book achieves its two principal aims: one is to report on the findings of research on several Camphill communities; the other is to discuss societal trends which are likely to impact on the future of the Camphill movement... The contributors are refreshingly frank about the mistakes of the past and the challenges facing the movement in the future. They also convey very well what is inspiring about the Camphill movement.'-- Mike Gibson, Times Educational Supplement Scotland'Robin Jackson, to his great credit, has brought together some illuminating thesis work, research projects and Camphill stories, not just in Scotland but throughout the world, to illustrate the work and worth and bring out the significance of the now 70-year-old Camphill Movement.'-- Vivian Griffiths, New View'A highly recommended read, as much for critics of village communities as those with a general interest in the history and ideas surrounding people with learning disabilities.'--Simon Jarret, British Journal of Learning Disabilities'For those interested in the care and education of children and adults with special needs, this is a fascinating story of the evolution of the Camphill Communities born from the seeds of pre-war Nazism.Whilst this is a collection of essays which essentially attempts to enlighten readers about the history and breadth of work of Camphill (which now spans seven countries), the work also offers a fascinating insight into the history of the movement.'-- Lynne McNeil, Life & Work'This book marks a much-needed step in Camphill emerging into the bright light of public scrutiny.'-- Bob Clay, Camphill Correspondence'Discovering Camphill is a thought provoking account of Camphill's roots, beliefs, practices and evolution...All the chapters warrant reading, but it is the sections dealing with Camphill's approach to caring for and educating children with SEND that will particularly interest Special Children readers.'-- Diane Crew, Special Children'this book gives a thorough and descriptive explanation of what Camphill stands for and actually does. The model fits well with residential care philosophies and can be a helpful additional perspective for administrators and policy makers as we continue to expand our understanding of how to develop useful ideas about residential care.'-- Jack Phelan, Relational Child and Youth Care Practice JournalTable of ContentsForeword: ANDREW KENDRICKIntroduction: ROBIN JACKSON1.

Cambridge University Press Capacity Informed Consent and ThirdParty
Book SynopsisThis Element examines three related topics in the field of bioethics that arise frequently both in clinical care and in medico-legal settings: capacity, informed consent, and third-party decision-making. All three of these subjects have been shaped significantly by the shift from the paternalistic models of care that dominated medicine in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain prior to the 1960s to the present models that privilege patient autonomy. Each section traces the history of one of these topics and then explores the major ethics issues that arise as these issues are addressed in contemporary clinical practice, paying particular attention to the role that structural factors such as bias and social capital play in their use. In addition, the volume also discusses recent innovations and proposals for reform that may shape these subjects in the future in response both to technological advances and changes in societal priorities.

Cambridge University Press Cambridge Guide to MentalizationBased Treatment
Book SynopsisAn up-to-date and practical guide to mentalization-based treatment (MBT) for clinicians and researchers, covering the latest developments in mentalizing and MBT, the interventions refined in clinical practice for a range of psychological disorders, and the use of mentalizing in various contexts, described with illustrative clinical examples.Trade Review'This book brilliantly brings together, in accessible language, the research and clinical wisdom that have accumulated over the past 20 years in mentalization-based theory and practice. It definitively establishes mentalization-based treatment as the transdiagnostic treatment it is. Requiring no prior exposure to mentalization-based therapy, this must-read guide provides clinicians with essential tools that can be immediately implemented. Read it! It will be worth it!' Carla Sharp, John and Rebecca Moores Professor, Associate Dean for Faculty and Research, CLASS, Department of Psychology, University of Houston'Cambridge Guide to Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) is destined to become a seminal guide. The authors have invested decades in examining how mental processing influences our well-being and share their brilliant clarity of thought regarding mentalizing theory and relevant research. They further provide rich, detailed, and practical accounts of the guiding principles of MBT and describe potent interventions that can harness mentalizing capacities and improve treatment across a range of clinical problems. This book illustrates important ideas that will be relevant to psychotherapists at all levels who are working to improve their clinical practice.' Shelley McMain, Senior Scientist, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) Director, Psychotherapy Division, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto'Must-read book for anyone practicing MBT. The guide is a mind melt of brilliant clinical, scientific and conceptual brains, clearly showing that MBT is not a 'guru-therapy' but democratic, full of life and kicking! Having collected the experiences of 30 years of training MBT, this guide is highly didactic with numerous detailed individual and group case descriptions giving insights in the magic potion of how to strengthen mentalization in very diverse mental problems and clinical settings. MBT follows recommendations of modern psychotherapy research by including all common factors and still provides a convincing narrative for the clinician in terms of disorder conceptualization, goals, tasks and change theory. With this guide MBT proves that it has become a stand-alone transdiagnostic treatment, with a strong theoretical and empirical underpinnings and – most important for clinicians – very clear and concrete directions for users.' Svenja Taubner, Professor for Psychosocial Prevention, Medical Faculty Director, Institute for Psychosocial Prevention, University of Heidelberg'The charm of MBT is the balance between clear hypotheses and one's own critical ability to constantly question them. Thus, MBT is a psychotherapy factory in the best sense: creative, inspiring, and interface-compatible: for clinical practitioners oriented toward scientific evidence and for researchers oriented toward clinical implementation. This book is a catalyst that will greatly advance both the practice and theory of psychotherapy.'

The reflections from volunteers who have worked across very diverse settings injects authenticity and brings home the challenges, opportunities and rewards of taking an alternative path- I will keep coming back to this.' Rashida A. Ferrand, Professor of International Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK; Director of The Health Research Unit Zimbabwe, Biomedical Research and Training Institute, Zimbabwe'This is a hugely welcome collection on volunteering in mental health for underserved populations. It covers critical ethical principles, and provides practical tips. It will be useful for those contemplating volunteering, or about to begin, and also for people with additional experience. I particularly valued the emphasis on learning from partners and on sustainability, and the framing of volunteering as part of building equitable long-term partnerships,. The book importantly alludes to planning for ongoing mentoring of colleagues in the host setting after the volunteer is back in their usual workplace. Volunteering in global mental health is likely to be a hugely rewarding life-changing experience and this book will inspire many to take the next step.'

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Handbook of Stigma and Mental
Book SynopsisThe persistence of stigma of mental illness and seeking therapy perpetuates suffering and keeps people from getting the help they need and deserve. This volume, analysing the most up-to-date research on this process and ways to intervene, is designed to give those who are working to overcome stigma a strong, research-based foundation for their work. Chapters address stigma reduction efforts at the individual, community, and national levels, and discuss what works and what doesn''t. Others explore how holding different stigmatized identities compounds the burden of stigma and suggest ways to attend to these differences. Throughout, there is a focus on the current state of the research knowledge in the field, its applications, and recommendations for future research. The Handbook provides a compelling case for the benefits reaped from current research and intervention, and shows why continued work is needed.Trade Review'The Cambridge Handbook of Stigma and Mental Health provides an authoritative, up-to-date overview of stigma and mental health research written by leading researchers from around the world.

Chapters on specific topics within the stigma field, such the measurement of stigma and discrimination, stigma among military personnel, and the relationship between stigma and masculinity, written by experts in those topics, will be extremely useful to many seeking information in those areas. I can't wait to have this resource available for my students and myself!'

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Careers in Mental Health
Book SynopsisAccessible and unbiased, Careers in Mental Health introduces upper-level high school students and beginning undergraduates to the different aspects of various mental health professions. Contains essential career advice for anyone considering an advanced degree in one of the helping professions within mental health Covers clinical psychology, counseling psychology, social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, substance abuse counseling, and school psychology Clarifies the distinctions between professions by discussing the history and philosophy of each field, requirements for advanced education, licensing, available jobs, salary potential, and more Includes a section with practical information applicable to all the professions, such as characteristics for success, ethical issues, the importance of critical thinking, applying to graduate school, and current issues affecting the field of mental health Trade Review"Careers in Mental Health was written for undergraduate psychology students and students in other mental health fields and provides a strong introduction to the most frequently entered mental health fields. It quickly outlines each field�s philosophical origins, educational requirements, and opportunities for licensure, typical work settings, and average salaries by people in the field.It is too narrow for a careers course, but since it solely focuses on the mental health professions that require graduate school and culminate in licensure or certification, it could be a good supplementary text for either that course or an Introduction to Counseling course. Careers in Mental Health could also be a good resource for faculty advising students about graduate school but confused by the variety of apparently similar professions out there�clinical, counseling, and school psychology; guidance counseling; social work; and licensed professional counseling. I am a clinical psychologist, have worked in the field for 25 years, and have advised students about these fields for most of that time, yet as a result of reading this book, I better understand issues I�ve talked about and taught for years. For example, why do these similar fields go by different names? Metz argues that this is at least in part because these are homologous fields, appearing similar but having different philosophical roots... Much of the information in Careers in Mental Health is available on the Internet, but Metz provides it in a simple and available manner that allows students�and faculty�to compare apples with apples. She filters the information about fields in a straightforward manner that makes their comparisons easy."

Manchester University Press Out of His Mind: Masculinity and Mental Illness
Book SynopsisOut of His Mind interrogates how Victorians made sense of the madman as both a social reality and a cultural representation. Even at the height of enthusiasm for the curative powers of nineteenth-century psychiatry, to be certified as a lunatic meant a loss of one’s freedom and in many ways one’s identify. Because men had the most power and authority in Victorian Britain, this also meant they had the most to lose. The madman was often a marginal figure, confined in private homes, hospitals, and asylums. Yet as a cultural phenomenon he loomed large, tapping into broader social anxieties about respectability, masculine self-control, and fears of degeneration. Using a wealth of case notes, press accounts, literature, medical and government reports, this text provides a rich window into public understandings and personal experiences of men’s insanity.Trade Review'An original contribution to our understanding of how gender, and especially masculinity, impacted the experience and representation of madness in Victorian Britain.'Katie Barclay, The American Historical Review'Out of His Mind builds upon and strengthens work already done in the history of science to destabilise gendered notions of scientific and medical authority.'Heather Ellis, Women's History Review'Amy Milne-Smith makes an important contribution to historical understandings of the multi-dimensional interactions between gender and mental health, encompassing the medical, social, attitudinal and cultural.'Leonard Smith, Cultural and Social History -- .Table of ContentsIntroduction: Madmen in the attic?1 Men in care: the asylum2 Men in the community: homecare, doctor’s care, and travellers3 Personal shame: failures of morality and the will4 Madmen out of the attic: reputation, rage, and liberty5 Media panics: stories of violence, danger, and men out of control6 Degeneration and madness: inheritance, neurasthenia, criminals, and GPIEpilogue

Pan Macmillan W-3: A Memoir
Book Synopsis‘Dazzlingly and daringly written’ Rachel Cooke, ObserverW-3 is a small psychiatric ward in a large university hospital, a world of pills and passes dispensed by an all-powerful staff, a world of veteran patients with grab-bags of tricks, a world of dishevelled, moment-to-moment existence on the edge of permanence.Bette Howland was one of those patients. In 1968, Howland was thirty-one, a single mother of two young sons, struggling to support her family on the part-time salary of a librarian; and labouring day and night at her typewriter to be a writer. One afternoon, while staying at her friend Saul Bellow’s apartment, she swallowed a bottle of pills.W-3 is a vivid – and often surprisingly funny – portrait of the extraordinary community of Ward 3 and a record of a defining moment in a writer’s life. The book itself would be her salvation: she wrote herself out of the grave.Originally published in 1974 and rediscovered forty years later, this is the first edition of W-3 to be published in the UK. With an original introduction by Yiyun Li, author of Where Reasons End.‘W-3 is one hell of a debut’ Lucy Scholes, Paris Review‘Howland is finally getting the recognition that she deserves’ Sarah Hughes, iNewsTrade ReviewThe voice is cool and the gaze is clear . . . a startlingly frank account of mental illness, and the contradictions and humiliations of life as a patient . . . akin to a fly-on-the-wall documentary. -- Martha Gill * The Times *A writer of terrifying power, who sees and hears everything . . . Not only is this a sane memoir of madness but it may well be the sanest, most mordant take on the subject I have ever read. -- Frances Wilson * Daily Telegraph *Her memoir, clear-eyed, with an anthropological, sociological distance, is a brilliant attempt to document life on the ward with clinical detachment . . . a wonder. Her prose is direct, unadorned, under-stated. -- Arnold Thomas Fanning * Irish Times *At moments dazzlingly and daringly written . . . Its author captures quite brilliantly the comical competitiveness of her fellow patients – who’s the maddest here? they ask, each one hoping to claim victory . . . and she is excellent, too, at delineating what we might call the secret life of the institution. The patients exist for the hospital’s sake, rather than the other way around. -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *A devastating memoir . . . Reading it now, what stands out is how bracingly modern it feels – Howland’s sharp portraits of her fellow patients, the unsparing eye she turns on herself, her refusal to look away from daily humiliations . . . Howland is finally getting the recognition that she deserves. -- Sarah Hughes * iNews *There’s no more interesting tale of neglect and rediscovery than that of Bette Howland . . . W-3 is one hell of a debut . . . It offers us a portal to a particular time and place, yet the compassion and truthfulness that underlies the writing renders it timeless, as urgent a read now as when it was first written nearly half a century ago. -- Lucy Scholes * Paris Review *A cool, brief memoir of her stay on a psychiatric ward after a suicide attempt in the early 1970s. -- Daily Telegraph Best Biographies of the YearFull of calibrated grace, and startlingly unmediated . . . [W-3] is remarkably perceptive and wise -- Katy Waldman * New Yorker *A story about her neighbor’s heart, not her own—an anthology of the lives she encounters in the ward known as W-3. [Howland tells] the story of a collective with blunt clarity, and sidestepping the genre’s potential for sentimentality or sensationalism. She brings the particularities of the world to life -- Parul Sehgal * New York Times *I was much moved by W-3. It is admirably straight and thoughtful, tough-minded but full of powerful feeling. The patients of W-3, black and white, men and women, dizzy, endearing, suicidal, doomed, come to us from these pages not as case studies but as our own brothers and sisters. No poses are struck and no vain gestures made in this brave and honorable book. Bette Howland is a real writer. -- Saul Bellow, Nobel Prize winning author of Seize the DayIn an earlier book, W-3, the moving and heroically funny account of Miss Howland's stay in the psychiatric ward of a university hospital after she had swallowed a fistful of sleeping pills, her tough and resilient personality brought a remarkably clearheaded way of seeing and knowing to that chaotic refuge of the dispossessed. * The New York Times *Bette Howland is at her best when her keenly observing eye is turned outward. Watching, always watching, she misses nothing, grasps everything, and puts it all together with an originality and cogency that are rare and memorable . . . she writes as if she were a participant-observer, a novelist-anthropologist in a strange, often perplexing new place. -- Johanna Kaplan * Commentary *W-3 is a portrayal of mental illness like none other. More claustrophobic than Girl, Interrupted and more frightening than The Bell Jar, Howland’s memoir maps the world of a 1970s psychiatric ward with an unflinching eye. -- Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Collected SchizophreniasHowland tracks our madnesses and oddnesses . . . Her work lies in a borderland between sociology and poetry -- Abigail Deutsch * Harper’s Magazine *[Her] sentences continue to beat with a stylish percussion and a glowing heart -- Donna Rifkind * Wall Street Journal *Howland’s powers of observation are like military-grade weapons. * University of Chicago Magazine *In W-3, Bette Howland continues to help us re-imagine the depth and breadth of humanity that a single book can contain, not only in her willingness to portray the vicissitudes of her own experience, but to observe, to empathize, to listen to and take such care with the individuals she encounters along the way. -- Lynn Steger Strong, author of WantAmong the many chronicles of depression and psych wards, Howland’s is uniquely arresting in its omniscient attention, radiant artistry, zealously pursued insights, and abiding respect for those who share her struggle. -- Donna SeamanBette Howland wrote a book I thought was impossible to write. -- Yiyun LiA master of silences, of the unsaid, of what cannot be addressed -- Jenessa Abrams * Guernica *With its incisive humor and unsparing descriptions, W-3 refuses a tidy resolution, instead showing how all the 'clumsy, good intentions' in the world can't always provide a cure for the horror and tedium of losing one's mind. * Minneapolis Star Tribune *A gallery of marvelously, devastatingly precise miniatures of Howland’s fellow inmates. Howland’s eye for detail is unfailingly sharp. She has the cartoonist’s knack of seizing and drawing out a person’s specific mannerisms and fixations, but what results is never caricature; rather, her depiction of the patients of W-3 is sensitive and sympathetic but powerfully unsentimental. -- Sarah Chihaya * Bookforum *Whether you call it fiction or memoir, essay or reportage, Howland’s work manages to feel both rooted in its twentieth century milieu and absolutely at home among today’s genre-agnostic writing. -- Laurie Muchnick * Kirkus *No pride or showing-off here; the craft lies in restraint, in what T. S. Eliot calls “a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality” . . . Howland’s writerly carpentry—measure twice, cut once—is exquisite. -- Anthony Domestico * Commonweal *Howland's thwarted career is our loss: at her best she is very good. -- Tessa Hadley * LRB *Throughout the book, we rub shoulders with the chatty and the speechless, the erratic and the withdrawn; those sedated by the system and those at the doors begging to be let out . . . Bette Howland’s work will, and should be, read and rediscovered time and time again. * Reaction *

Nova Science Publishers Inc Mental Health Service in the People's Republic of
Book SynopsisBeing the world''s most populated country, the People''s Republic of China shoulders the largest number of persons with mental illness in the world. According to related documents, there are around 16 millions of persons with mental illness that necessitate prolonged treatment and rehabilitation, 30 million children and adolescents with behavioural and emotional problems, 6 millions with persons with epilepsy and numerous elderly persons with mental problems. Facing these insurmountable needs of mental health services, despite the drastic economic development in these decades, there are various challenges for policy makers and caring professionals in providing adequate and qualitative services for persons with mental problems in China. To name a few, these challenges include insufficient mental health facilities; a great diversity in social, cultural and political contexts among different regions in China; poor mental health literacy, and highly inadequate financial support to mental health services. All these challenges occurs both in fast growing urban cities where mental problems increase drastically within a highly competitive and stressful city life as well as in deprived rural areas where mental illnesses are neglected and ignored because of unsolvable poverty problems. This book tackles these problems head on.

Bloomsbury Publishing USA I Feel Love: MDMA and the Quest for Connection in
Book SynopsisLonglisted for the PEN / E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award"Riveting."--Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps the Score The unlikely story of how the psychedelic drug MDMA emerged from the shadows to the forefront of a medical revolution--and the potential it may hold to help us thrive.Few drugs in history have generated as much controversy as MDMA--or held as much promise. Once vilified as a Schedule I substance that would supposedly eat holes in users' brains, MDMA (also known as Molly or Ecstasy) is now being hailed as a therapeutic agent that could transform the field of mental health and outpace psilocybin and ketamine as the first psychedelic approved for widespread clinical use. In I Feel Love, science journalist Rachel Nuwer separates fact from fantasy, hope from hype, in the drug's contested history and still-evolving future. Evidence from scientific trials suggests MDMA, properly administered, can be startlingly effective at relieving the effects of trauma. Results from other studies point to its usefulness for individual and couples therapy; for treating depression, alcohol addiction, and eating disorders; and for cultivating personal growth. Yet scientists are still racing to discover how MDMA achieves these outcomes, a mystery that is taking them into the inner recesses of the brain and the deep history of evolution. With its power to dismantle psychological defenses and induce feelings of empathy, self-compassion, and love, MDMA may answer profound questions about how we became human, and how to heal our broken social bonds.From cutting-edge labs to pulsing club floors to the intimacy of the therapist's couch, Nuwer guides readers through a cultural and scientific upheaval that is rewriting our understanding of our brains, our selves, and the space between.

Sydney University Press Transition to Retirement: A Guide to Inclusive
Book SynopsisThe Transition to Retirement (TTR) program aims to help older people with long-term disability gradually build an active and socially inclusive retirement lifestyle through volunteering and participating in mainstream community groups. Members of these groups are trained to act as mentors and provide support. The three-year TTR research project and subsequent years of TTR service delivery have shown that this approach is feasible and has enduring positive outcomes for people with disability, mentors and community groups.The TTR manual and video material aim to make these benefits available more widely. They provide implementation details for all components of the TTR program, as well as practical tips and accounts of individual participant's experiences. DVD stories and video clips illustrate key issues. Planning forms are also included, together with an explanation of the process of teaching a person with long-term disability to use public transport independently. The TTR program is consistent with Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which focuses on building community participation and independence, and with the National Disability Strategy's emphasis on promoting social inclusion in community settings.Trade Review"The book 'Transition to Retirement: A Guide to Inclusive Practice' is a world leading exemplar of a project that can address this inequality for older adults with intellectual disabilities ... A strength of this manual is that it has been written alongside staff from a local charity who have implemented the Transition to Retirement project adding sound advice regarding the enablers as well as the barriers to implementing this project in practice ... I would highly recommend this book to educators, researchers, commissioners and service providers and it should be on the bookshelves of everyone concerned with how adults with intellectual disabilities age in order to plan a more active and inclusive retirement." -- Laurence Taggart -- Journal of Policy and Practice in Intellectual Disabilities' ... the book is clear and concise, and will be a useful resource for its primary audience of social care workers who provide employment support services.' -- Elizabeth Perkins -- Learning Disability Practice' ... the manual is set within the Australian context, [but] the themes and practical suggestions are transferable to other countries and cultures and, all in all, it is a good guide to have to hand.' -- Rachel Forrester-Jones -- Tizard Learning Disability Review'Its scientific foundation is its strength, and the disciplined approach to its construction circumscribes its initial claims to validity and utility. Here we have a clear first step in a standardised manual for a best practice. The TTR needs and deserves to be followed in research as it is applied ...
