Description

Case management is a way of increasing the flexibility, continuity and responsiveness of mental health service provision by assigning clear responsibilities to individual staff working within teams. Drawing from the international literature and the experience of managing an inner-London case management, the author provides practical guidelines to planners, managers and practitioners on the implementation and maintenance of effective case management and multidisciplinary teamwork. Divided into three parts, this book discusses: case management in a historical and social policy context; the day-to-day practice of case management; and a team approach to maintaining good practice and ensuring positive outcomes for users, and paid and unpaid carers.
