I had a mental health placement in the second year of my social work degree and knew nothing about mental health issues or services. This book almost single headedly got me through the placement and definatly improved my work with the service users. This book was also on the essential reading list for the third year of my degree at Northumbria University and was well deserving of it's place. It is easy to read and covers all the basic information as well as issues of discrimination, anti oppressive practice and social inclusion. There is also a good debate and discussion around social and medical models of mental distress and treatment. I would strongly recommend this book to all social workers or potential social worker because regardless of ... Read More:

There are other books out there, but THIS IS THE BOOK if you are serious about sucessfully applying and then going on to pass the assessment centre. The book is an invaluable guide on not only passing the a/c, but passing with flying colours.
It is well written, well laid out, easy to follow and short of actually doing the a/c, lets you know exactly what to expect. I would also thoroughly recommend the excellent seminars that Ian runs - just search for 'ISP police' on google. These will help you to prepare alongside other candidates where you will be able to work on each of the competency areas and structure your answers to achieve the best results. I have just received my result today and passed with 71% ... Read More: >>More Details |

I found this book by chance after seeing an advert in a magazine.As a retired rural police officer and with family living in North yorkshire I thought it was worth a look.I was not to be disappointed.It actually features the village where my son lives and I was able to 'identify'some of the characters that the author had cunningly disguised.I really enjoyed this book from start to finish and was sorry when it ended.Knowing the locality helped but also knowing the job as well made this such a worth while read.I easily identified with all the situations that Mike found himself in and his descriptions were brilliant.This is definitely the best police memoirs book I have read.

This is author Toni Maguires true story of her harrowing childhood in Belfast in the 1950's, at the hands of a sexually abusive father.
It runs along side of the story of her sitting in a nursing home as an adult, with her terminally ill mother. As she keeps her vigil, her memories come back to her and she begins to tell her story of her childhood. This is not a story of neglect in a material sense as is usually the case, but a fairly average childhood in all other respects, interspersed with horrendous sexual abuse. As we find out, the damage caused lasts a lifetime for Toni. This is another book I couldn't put down until finished. How a parent can do such things to a child is totally beyond my belief! It highlights the fact that ... Read More: >>More Details |

Well, that's how we call it in our department as we always go back into this textbook whenever we need some guidance in our studies. It is the most useful textbook next to the Penguin Dictionary of IR. Recommended buy for all International Relations students out there.

Although I enjoyed around half of the entries and found them entertaining and often very touching, this book should come with a warning.... for all NHS staff who work outside of the ambulance service! While the author acknowledges that his comments are not meant to tar all NHS employees with the same brush, and definitely the shortages of staff put pressure on all, there are several occasions where doctors, nurses and midwives are made out to be rude and uncaring and often this book descends into ranting about these professional groups. While dipping in and out of a blog the odd rant is ok, I found that in a book form these frequent angry entries got in the way of the flow of an otherwise enjoyble book.

The King of Sunlight: How William Lever Cleaned Up the Worldby: Adam Macqueen May 02, 2005 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues |

The premise of this book is the story of a soap company that would eventually become Unilever and its founder and directing mind, William Lever. It doesn't sound promising, but, like many obscure corners of history that have been illuminated by fascinating, lucid and readable biographies and histories, this is the window to a wide and startling vista.
I came to read the book after hearing excerpts of it on BBC Radio 4's `A Good Read'. It sounded interesting in the round, but what really made me pay attention was the detail on Rivington. Rivington is a village in the moorland above Chorley and Bolton. It has medieval tithe barns, a quaint village centre, strange follies and the most amazing terraced gardens, ornamental lake and Roman ruins. ... Read More: >>More Details |

Sue Martin's harrowing account of the physical and mental abuse and tortue at the hands of so-called carers has changed my perception of the charity under which she was placed. It is certainly one I'll never give to again. Not until they explain such treatment and what they intend to do to atone for their unspeakable inhuman behaviour towards children.

This is the most comprehensive guide that I've come across on contemporary global giving. And it's a really enjoyable and entertaining read to boot.
The authors put the mega-philanthropy of Bill Gates/Warren Buffet/Tom Hunter etc into context and give interesting insights (and a few juicy titbits) into the motivations of these donors and the pros and cons of their approach. Read it! >>More Details |
