Social support and psychiatric disorder

When considering influences on psychological ill health and mental illness, personal relationships are generally conceived to play an important role. It is therefore perhaps surprising that, despite much research in this area, there is so little evidence available from intervention studies to guide management practices. This second volume in a series looking at the social dimensions of mental illness collates and critically examines the information currently available on social support as it affects mental health. Practitioners and researchers in psychiatry, psychology and social work are certain to welcome this timely guide.
