This is the book that describes in considerable detail how the home treatment team was put together. They describe the influence of Stein and Test’s work in Madison Wisconsin, and Hoult’s pioneering research in Sydney Australia. All aspects of team creation are described including referral process, risk assessment, and relationship with the inpatient unit. The whole endeavour is brought to life by a ” Day in the Life” section in which staff, patients ( called ” users”) and families experiences are chronicled. localityservices3_the_home_treatment_team
