Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Preventing Mental IllHealth
Book SynopsisIs there any evidence that we can reduce the incidence of mental ill health? Is it possible to prevent recurrence of mental ill health?Aspirations to achieve both these goals have featured in mental health policy and practice for over 100 years. This comprehensive and accessible book draws on research on the development and persistence of behavioural problems in childhood, adult depression and schizophrenia. The association between social disadvantage and mental ill health, as well as the need for preventive care to start from conception and the crucial importance of maternal mental health, are discussed. A variety of prominent programmes which have good evidence of efficacy are described. These include: Targeted approaches with individuals and families Macro policies affecting housing and employment Lifestyle contributions such as diet and exercise However, some attemptsTrade Review"We have made huge progress in recent years in raising the profile of public mental health and improving population well-being. However, the need to prevent mental illness has sometimes been overlooked. This excellent and clearly argued book corrects the balance by placing prevention its rightful place as a key part of the mental health agenda." - Dr Andrew McCulloch, CEO, The Mental Health Foundation"Mental ill-health is the global epidemic of our modern age and prevention and early intervention are key areas in public mental health. This book provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the literature in this area which offers us the prospect that the prevention of mental ill health is a reality for the twenty-first century." - Dr Jed Boardman, Senior Lecturer in Social Psychiatry"In the 1980s Jennifer Newton produced a book entitled "Preventing Mental Illness". This book made me ask her collaboration in the WPA section of Preventive Psychiatry that I had the opportunity to establish at that time. The book impressed me very much.Why was I impressed? For three basic reasons. First the book was a good paradigm of scientific discipline. Every information was cross-checked; when there was doubt, Newton would say so. Second, the book was balanced with respect to its theoretical orientation. Although one would expect it to be psychologically oriented in view of the psychological background of the author this was fortunately not the case and Newton invariably provided us with a global account of the existing evidence. Third, the book was instructive and well-written.The above qualities were verified in her present book "Preventing Mental Ill-health" but a fourth important quality was added: Maturity. This is evident in the book. Her familiarity with the topic and her expertise allow Dr Newton to dare express her opinion with greater confidence and greater firmness than before and this is fortunate for the reader, for the advancement of preventive mental health and for the scientifically appropriate approach to the variety of issues associated with psychiatric prevention in general.In her Preface to the book, the author warns that " a review of a large number of weak studies that point in the same direction does not add up to a strong conclusion". This cautious statement is of course correct and is indicative of the respect with which the author confronts the difficult and complex issues in the area of prevention. It is clear that her own review does not fall in the same trap.In conclusion, the book is an invaluable tool in the hands of mental health professionals interested in prevention. Additionally, researchers will find new ideas by just reading the critical arguments of Jennifer Newton in her stimulating book.I feel confident that "Preventing Mental Ill-health" will serve its purpose and will be received with enthusiasm. The author is to be thanked for enriching the Behavioral Medicine literature with yet another important addition." - Professor George N. Christodoulou, President-elect, World Federation for Mental Health"In her book, Jennifer Newton presents a complex examination of mental ill-health and key factors that might play a significant role in its prevention. She offers a plethora of research that considers the areas of biology and genetics, psychology, sociology, epidemiology, and the insights of those with mental illness to exemplify both effective and ineffective strategies for prevention." - Vanessa Lorris, Social Work in Health Care (Vol. 56 No. 2)"We have made huge progress in recent years in raising the profile of public mental health and improving population well-being. However, the need to prevent mental illness has sometimes been overlooked.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Child Abuse
Book SynopsisUnderstanding Child Abuse is the first book to look at women whose partners are child sex offenders. Much of the book is devoted to the voices of the women themselves, telling their stories and how they feel about the situations in which they found themselves, how they coped, and how they remade their lives and those of their families. They describe what they learned from their experience and how it changed them.Such experience is largely overlooked by researchers, agencies and policy makers and this book throws unique light on this neglected area. The chapters cover: What we know about child sexual abuse, offenders and the effect of sexual abuse on children. A detailed description of the work which allows the women to explore and compare their experiences and feelings about what has happened. Verbatim interviews with both partners and offenders. Combining theory, practice and personal tTrade Review'Through sensitive interviews, Terry Philpot reveals the range of feelings and emotions experienced by mothers whose male partners have sexually abused children. He provides an invaluable insight into the varied motivations and behaviours of sex offenders and the ways their offending can be addressed. He surveys the available research and presents the key findings in an immensely readable and engaging style. This is a valuable contribution to a long neglected aspect of sex abuse.'Sir Roger Singleton CBE, Chair of the Independent Safeguarding AuthorityTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis book presents an international perspective on the involvement of men in the lives of young children across a range of differing contexts and from a number of disciplinary perspectives. It takes as a starting point the importance of positive male engagement with young children so as to ensure their optimal development. Past research has revealed however the complexity of studying these relationships and the barriers that exist in families & society which impede the implementation of positive relationships.

Taylor & Francis Disability Rights and Wrongs Revisited
Over the last forty years, the field of disability studies has emerged from the political activism of disabled people. In this challenging review of the field, leading disability academic and activist Tom Shakespeare argues that disability research needs a firmer conceptual and empirical footing. This new edition is updated throughout, reflecting Shakespeareâs most recent thinking, drawing on current research, and responding to controversies surrounding the first edition and the World Report on Disability, as well as incorporating new chapters on cultural disability studies, personal assistance, sexuality, and violence. Using a critical realist approach, Disability Rights and Wrongs Revisited promotes a pluralist, engaged and nuanced approach to disability. Key topics discussed include: dichotomies â going beyond dangerous polarizations such as medical model versus social model to achieve a complex, multi-factorial account of di
