This book offers a wide-ranging, in-depth description and analysis of the central developments and controversies in European mental health systems from 1980 to the present day.

'Mental Health at the Crossroads' critically appraises the historical record of the psychosocial approach to mental health, contrasts the benefits and problematic aspects of this approach in the context of changing systems, and presents the views of service users as well as those of carers and managers.
