Choosing Methods in Mental Health Research
Choosing Methods in Mental Health Research develops a new framework for mental health research. It is concerned with how to choose the most appropriate mental health research method, not only to address a specific question, but to maximize the potential impact on shaping mental health care. Mike Slade and Stefan Priebe focus attention on the types of audience that the researcher is seeking to influence, the types of evidence each audience accepts as valid, and the relative strengths and limitations of each type of methodology. A range of research methodologies are described and critically appraised, and the use of evidence by different groups is discussed. This produces some important findings about the interplay between research production and consumption, and highlights directions for future mental health research theory and practice. The findings presented here will be relevant to mental health service users and professionals who use research evidence to inform decision-making. It will also prove an invaluable resource for students and researchers in the field of mental health.

Mental Health Outcome Measures

Outcome Measurement in Mental Health
In order to operate in an evidence-based fashion, mental health services rely on accurate, relevant, and systematic information. One important type of information is the nature of the problems experienced by recipients of mental health care, and how these problems change over the course of time. Outcome measurement involves the systematic, repeated assessment of aspects of health and illness, either by service providers, service recipients, or both. From outcome measurement clinicians and service recipients achieve a common language whereby they can plan treatment and track progress, team leaders and managers secure a basis to compare their services with others and to promote quality, while policy makers and funders derive evidence of effectiveness. This book will be an essential and practical resource for all members of the mental health clinical team as well as those responsible for establishing or managing services, and directing policy.

Gesundheitsökonomie in Psychotherapie und Psychiatrie
Für die Wirksamkeit von psychotherapeutischen und psychiatrischen Leistungen gibt es inzwischen hinreichend viele gesicherte Belege - die Untersuchung von Wirtschaftlichkeit und Effizienz dieser Interventionen steht dagegen erst am Anfang. Bei der Untersuchung von Kosten- und Nutzenfaktoren ergeben sich vielfältige Herausforderungen: Die Besonderheiten des gegliederten Versorgungssystems müssen berücksichtigt werden sowie die Schwierigkeit, Verbesserungen des seelischen Befindens in vergleichbare "Nutzeneinheiten" umzurechnen ohne dabei die Stabilität der erwarteten Effekte aus den Augen zu verlieren. Dieses Buch behandelt die Grundlagen gesundheitsökonomischer Untersuchungen und ihre ...

The Stigma of Mental Illness - E-Book
People with mental illness are often painfully familiar with overt prejudice or more subtle forms of mistreatment. The stigma and discrimination associated with their disorders can have effects in several areas of life: in social interactions, in work and healthcare settings, in the legal system and the media. Many withdraw due to shame and do not seek help. In turn, stigma can prove to be a more serious problem than the disorder itself. Yet too little is done to reduce stigma and its impact. The Stigma of Mental Illness: Strategies Against Discrimination and Social Exclusion offers up the knowledge necessary to understand and fight against stigma and discrimination. It will be invaluable to all health professionals, social workers, healthcare managers and policy makers with an involvement or interest in mental illness. - Broad coverage of the forms and consequences of stigma - Specific treatment of stigma in relation to diagnoses such as dementia and autism - Perspectives and strategies of a service user and a relative - Up-to-date concepts regarding exclusion and discrimination - Practical strategies for service users, relatives, healthcare professionals and policy makers
