Working with Interpreters in Mental Health

Wow! This book summarises all the complexities of working with mental health users but amplifies this in the context of working with interpreters. Roles, power, control, boundaries, ethics, beliefs, culture, politics and economics – they are all here in some form. The authors use both the evidence base and practical case study and guidance to illustrate their work. All perspectives are considered. The user may not feel their use of the English language requires an interpreter, or may be concerned about confidentiality or unclear regarding the person’s role if this is not clearly established at the beginning.
