After giving the reader a basic understanding of mental illness, the book goes on to describe more than 30 clinical problems associated with mental illness, and uses a problem-solving approach to guide readers through their assessment and management. There is also a section which contains quick reference information for common problems. The manual is divided into four sections with the first giving an overview of mental illness and dealing with the different types of mental disorders using a simple classification; the second deals with clinical problems including a chapter on the most disturbing and worrying clinical problems that you will encounter, the third covers integrating mental health and considers how mental health can be promoted in the community, the fourth discusses localising the manual for your area and accessing resources.
