| Publisher Description: A unique--and effective--approach to mental health practice Clinical Case Management for People with Mental Illness combines theory, practice, and plenty of clinical examples to introduce a unique approach to case management that's based on a biopsychosocial vulnerability-stress model. This practice-oriented handbook stresses the dynamic interplay among biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors that influences the development--and severity--of a person's mental illness. Filled with case examples to illustrate the assessment and intervention process, the book is an essential resource for working with people who suffer from depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. Author Daniel Fu Keung Wong draws on his experiences as an educator, cognitive therapist, mental health worker, and case manager working in Asia and Australia to explore the concepts and contexts of clinical case management for individuals suffering from mild and chronic mental illness.

In addition, the book includes checklists, worksheets, activity charts, and three helpful appendices. Clinical Case Management for People with Mental Illness examines:
