Scope

This special edition is prompted by ongoing claims about escalating mental health problems and their management in Australia and other affluent countries. High prevalence disorders such as anxiety and depression, and alcohol and substance abuse are said to be epidemic. Following the closure of many large asylums in Australia, a number of reports have raised questions about the efficacy, scope and accessibility to community-based mental health services

This edition aims to facilitate discussion of central issues relating to mental health treatment, including effective professional practice, community care, access and equity, and the marginalization of sufferers of mental illness.

Topics

* Evaluation of particular therapies, for example, the widespread use of cognitive behaviour therapy, and the role of counseling for sufferers of psychotic illnesses

* Presentation and management of mental illness in emergency departments in public hospitals

* Evaluation of particular services, for example, age-specific services, and step-up/step-down facilities

* Social supports for mentally ill individuals and families, for example, welfare and housing

* Family relationships in mental illness, for example, children who care for mentally ill parents

* The place and evaluation of 21st century technology in the treatment of mental illness (internet, telephone, mobile phone, sms etc)

* Professionalisation and specialisation, for example, nurse practitioners and the treatment of mentally ill clients

* Forensic issues including management of psychiatric services in custodial settings and the evaluation of mental health courts

* Medication and compliance issues including the use of non-prescription drugs

* Working partnerships between mental health services and other health and welfare services, for example, in the case of client physical ill-health, unemployment, drug and alcohol misuse and where children require protection
