N2  - "This is the first book to provide practical advice for those working within these teams. It addresses the needs of the individual specialists within the CMHT, and provides clinical advice based on what has been seen to work. The book also looks at the recent development of 'functional' CMHTs - assertive outreach, crisis resolution, and early intervention services, describing how these teams work, their similarities, and their differences." "Written by a leading authority in this field, the book aims to present the difficulties and variations in such team approaches, as well as those in best practice (often overlooked by enthusiastic proponents). It will become the standard text for all those specialists working within and close to Community Mental Health Teams."--BOOK JACKET
