Adult mental health services often struggle to respond to the complex needs of people with personality difficulties and their care often falls woefully short. Yet the provision of well-structured care can lead to tangible health benefits. Structured Clinical Management (SCM) provides a pragmatic approach to delivering such care and this comprehensive textbook tells us exactly how to do this. It is essential reading for anyone involved in the delivery, management and commissioning of adult mental health services.
