The book offers a new integrative model of causality for instigating change, based on giving clients control and choice over these beliefs, and therefore over their mood and behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis practical guide also focuses on the stigmas often attached to people with 'mental illness'. Danny C. K. Lam suggests that by providing both the client and the general public with a more accurate understanding of the nature and causes of mental health problems it is possible to de-stigmatise the 'mental illness' label. This will help the client improve self-esteem and the ability to manage personal and interpersonal difficulties and take control of their problems and responsibility for recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDivided into six parts, this book covers: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003estigma, prejudice and discrimination from societal perspectives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe nature and cause of emotional upsets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ea therapeutic framework for change\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eself-prejudice, personal and interpersonal issues\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003egood and bad methods of communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epractical approaches to assessing problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emethods of taking control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis cognitive behavioural approach to mental health problems is an innovative contribution to the field.
