We would like to thank our colleagues at the School of Social and Community Sciences at the University of Ulster at Magee and the Department of Social Work at the Queen's University of Belfast for allowing us the time to engage in what we believe is an important project. The book would not have been possible without the kind and efficient assistance provided by Ruth Dilly, we would like to thank her for this.

Augusta McCabe and John Park

The inspiration for this welcome collection of chapters sprang from the success of a series of DHSS(NI) publications on the theme of mental health social work (Campbell, J. and Herron, S. (1993), Campbell, J., Park, J. and Manktelow, R. (1995), Manktelow, R., Campbell, J. and Park, J (1997). In recent years contributions have expanded to include views from the South as well as North of Ireland, The conferences have clearly demonstrated that workers in both parts of Ireland have much to learn from each other. This book examines the similarities and differences in the role of mental health social work and mental health policy between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. As the reader will learn in great detail throughout the chapters, mental health services in Ireland, North and South, share a common history. Despite three-quarters of a century of separation between the two jurisdictions, there are still many similarities in the approach of the respective administrations to the provision of mental health services.
