After 15 years in psychiatric social work, including experience of working with the mental health law, Gwen Howe went on in 1989 to pioneer a centre for individuals with serious mental illness which she ran until 1994. She has written several books, including Working with Schizophrenia and Getting into the System, published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
Mental health assessments - an introduction; slipping out of the system; a ''least restrictive'' practice; the role of medication in acute psychosis; slipping into the wrong system; carers and a need for caring; a reluctance to use the law?; mental health assessments - summing up.
`There is much of relevance in the book to members of Making Space and to our staff. I liked the format because it enables people affected by these problems to identify with the case studies and so understand better the background to professional decisions. It is an excellent base for training. It should prove extremely useful for carers and is sympathetic to user concerns.'
