Health and social care professionals are constantly exhorted to work collaboratively. This book reports on research which examines interprofessional work with families in which mothers have a mental health problem and where there are also concerns about child protection. Breakdowns in interprofessional collaboration, issues of risk and relevant resources are all addressed. Mothers' views and experiences are contrasted with professional perspectives. This book: reports on a survey of 500 practitioners working in health, social services and the voluntary sector; presents data from in-depth interviews with mothers with severe mental health problems; identifies weaknesses in interprofessional coordination in this area of work; and suggests a new model for work with families where mental health problems and child protection concerns co-exist.

The mental health problems of mothers experiencing the child protection system: identifying needs and appropriate responses
- Authors:
- STANLEY Nicky, PENHALE Bridget
- Journal article citation:
- Child Abuse Review, 8(1), January 1999, pp.34-45.
- Publisher:
- Wiley
This article presents the findings of a small pilot study which examined the needs of mothers with severe mental health problems whose children were involved in the child protection system. The use of the diagnosis of 'personality disorder' in relation to this group of women is discussed and the finding that all these women had experience of domestic violence is considered in the context of other research findings. The article seeks to identify the differing approaches to maternal mental health problems which appear to be developing out of different groups of research studies and argues that practitioners need to be explicit in identifying their perspectives on the associated issues of maternal mental health problems and child protection.
