Check out the recommended reading for Mental Health: Research and Practice
We are often asked to recommend some introductory reference books for new students on our courses. Here are some suggestions which provide a good introduction to the subject areas we teach and to our research interests.
It is not recommended that you buy, or even read, all of these, if it adds financial or academic pressure prior to the course. We do encourage reading through a well-chosen few, which should give you some useful background material. You should be able to access recommended e-books from our libraries online once you have registered for your online student account and any paper books from from our libraries upon arrival.
