Social Work Seminar Series: Thinking differently about public mental health

Traditional approaches to public mental health at a policy level have been criticized for privileging biomedical understandings and neglecting the social context of distress.

Dave Harper is Professor of Clinical Psychology and Programme Director (Academic) of the DClinPsych programme at the University of East London. Prior to moving to UEL in 2000 Dave worked as a clinical psychologist in NHS mental health services for a decade. He is a co-author of Psychology, mental Health and distress (Palgrave MacMillan, 2013).
