      Although it is widely agreed that the experiences of service users have much to offer mental health professionals, the majority of books for this group focus on either conditions or different types of service provision (acute, community). This book is different. It takes as its starting point the lived experience of recovery which is the process whereby individuals can be helped to understand and come to terms with their illness. The role and actions of mental health professionals is explored as part of the process of recovery. The major part of the book will focus on ways in which direct care staff can assist people with mental health problems, reflecting the accounts of the nature and type of assistance which have been valuable, and the ways in which such help can best be offered. It addresses two key components of recovery accessand inclusion to life opportunities and acceptance. Each chapter of the book looks at an aspect of recovery and clearly shows how practitioners must accept the individuals needs and work with them towards this goal

      Le sens et le devenir même de la pratique infirmière sont déterminés par la conception que l'on a de la qualité du soin infirmier, qui ne peut se réduire à celle des actes effectués ni à leur organisation. En questionnant la qualité, l'auteur amène à réfléchir à l'essence de la démarche soignante et offre pour perspective le déploiement de la santé dans l'existence même de la personne. Une telle démarche procède d'une rencontre et d'un accompagnement par lesquels le soignant exerce une fonction d'expert et de conseiller. Volontairement fondé sur l'expérience et l'action, cet ouvrage permet d'enrichir la réflexion des cadres, des gestionnaires, des formateurs, ou des étudiants, ainsi que des professionnels qui exercent au contact direct des personnes soignées. Prenant en compte la réforme hospitalière et ses conséquences sur la gestion, l'auteur fait un point complet sur la manière de gérer le service infirmier, en respectant l'éthique du soin. L'ouvrage comprend une partie conceptuelle sur la pratique soignante, sur la qualité et sur la fonction d'encadrement. Les derniers chapitres forment une partie plus instrumentale, liée à l'organisation et à la gestion des services.
