The book of this website is divided
into five main sections:
- information about the diagnosis
and management of specific mental disorders, in adults,
young people and women who are mothers. The primary-care
management of people with personality disorder forms part
of this section;
- core management issues and skills
that are relevant to a number of mental disorders - for
example, assessment, referral, resettlement, managing patients
who are at risk of suicide and those who have self-harmed;
- information about the mental-health
needs of particular groups of prisoners (eg detained asylum
seekers and those with Learning Disability). It also gives
advice about how to respond to the needs of prisoners who
have had particular life experiences (such as sexual assault,
abuse in childhood or domestic violence) that put them at
increased risk of developing a mental disorder;
- possible responses to prisoners who
behave in ways that are difficult to manage, such as those
who are aggressive or who refuse food. Many of these prisoners
will not have a mental disorder, but mental disorder is
a factor that must be considered;
- important related matters, such as
legal and ethical issues and working with voluntary organisations.
As you can see by looking at the left-hand toolbar on every
page; the website has divided these sections into 12 areas.
