Synopsis

As the UK’s only charity concerned with both mental illness and learning disabilities, the Mental Health Foundation plays a vital role in pioneering new approaches to prevention, treatment and care. The Foundation’s work includes allocating grants for research and community projects, contributing to public debate, educating and influencing policy–makers and health care professionals and striving to reduce the stigma attached to mental illness and learning disabilities. In this book, the Foundation has gathered together the work of specialists in the relevant disciplines to present and debate the state of knowledge and research in their field. Contributors focus on questions of methodology and evaluation, and explain how particular research designs might answer specific psychotherapy service questions. They set out guidelines for practice by evaluating examples of good research studies. They also consider how inevitable problems in implementation can be anticipated and overcome. The book’s purpose is to present a guide to the construction and successful execution of well founded research projects, to be used by the research community, purchasers and providers of psychotherapy services, and funding bodies in both public and private sectors.
