What do I say next? Everyday Mental Health Conversations in Primary Care

‘This is a brilliant book. It has an amazing collection of information and skills. This book helps us with the “What do I say next?” as often in primary care we sometimes don’t know. The book covers what we need to know about primary care mental health and distress. Importantly it comes at this from a clear primary care perspective rather than “psychiatry lite”. It shares many skills that help us get our patients back into “the river of life” which many of them are capable of achieving. As humans we all have the worst day(s) of our life and when our patients present with distress this is likely a detour from their usual and better days. This book will help you deal with those situations and assist us in the process of navigation back into their regular lives lived in the service of their values. A must have book for all primary care clinicians.’ - Bruce Arroll, Professor of General Practice and Primary Health Care, University of Auckland, New Zealand
