Community mental health has evolved as a field of practice and as a research discipline during the last 50 years. Now newer concepts, such as shared decision-making, the recovery approach, evidence-based practice, implementation science, telemedicine, and mobile device technology, are adding layers of texture to this domain. These developments require an ever more sophisticated understanding of the very latest evidence and experience in community mental health care to respond to the values, goals, needs and preferences of people with lived experience of mental health conditions. This second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Community Mental Health addresses recent changes and achievements, c...
