Hope-Filled Healthcare for Mental Illness

Hope-Filled Healthcare for Mental Illness, by Robert W. Engstrom, is a clarion call for respectful, compassionate interdisciplinary whole-person care for those suffering from mental illness. Even though the spiritual may seem immeasurable, the author convincingly argues that the compassionate care of an interdisciplinary team, including spiritual support, is essential to the long-term effectiveness of treatment provided to the mentally ill. All caregivers who have contact with the mentally ill, whether in a clinical or non-clinical setting, and whether they are trained psychiatric professionals or not, will find this book to be an indispensable look into the world of people with mental illness and how to help them.

The resources and patient questionnaires included will help you take whole-person care for the mentally ill to the next level.
