This Realm of New Zealand

The Sovereign, the Governor-General, the Crown

By: Janet McLean,Alison Quentin-Baxter

New Zealand is a democratic constitutional monarchy, one of Queen Elizabeth II's sixteen realms. This book provides a comprehensive account of how the Queen, the Governor-General and the Crown interact with our democratically-elected leaders under New Zealand's unwritten constitution.The authors explain how these islands in the South Pacific were first brought within Queen Victoria's dominions, the arrangements then made for their future government, and how those arrangements developed over time with the pressure for democracy and responsible government to become New Zealand's current constitution. They discuss the responsibilities of, and interactions between, the key office-holders: the Sovereign herself; her representative, the Governor-General; the impersonal and perpetual Crown, and the Prime Minister, other Ministers and Members of Parliament. All of them affect in some way the government which runs the country day to day. In an afterword, the authors examine some of the key issues to be considered should New Zealand become a republic.The parliamentary democracy that we take for granted can conceal New Zealand's ultimate constitutional underpinnings in the monarchy. But, as the authors make clear, the monarchy's continuing role in New Zealand's constitution is significant. And understanding the roles of the Queen, the Governor-General and the Crown will be critical as we look forward to debates about the possibility of a republic in New Zealand.

Recovery in Mental Health Nursing

By: Nick Wrycraft,Alison Coad

Recovery is a key concept throughout mental health, but its meaning is elusive and hard to grasp in day to day practice. This textbook is an accessible and practical guide to recovery in mental health, demystifying the concept and helping students and practitioners to develop a personal awareness of what recovery is and what it means at an individual level. The book presents recovery as being intimately connected to our values and who we are as people. The chapters build upon what we understand recovery to be and apply these ideas to various areas of practice, such as communication, being self-aware, reflective practice, clinical supervision and how we engage with service users, families and the multi-disciplinary team. Explanations are given of the most popularly used recovery concepts and approaches such as the Tidal model, Repper and Perkins’ Psychosocial model, and the WRAP and Path models, and their use in daily practice. The book features: • Practice-based examples and real-life case scenarios to illustrate how recovery varies from client to client • Exercises to encourage you to reflect and come up with your own personal approach • Consideration of ethical and professional dilemmas in practice • A view of recovery that takes into account political and resourcing issues • Explanation and discussion of key concepts in recovery This is an excellent resource for all students and practitioners in mental health nursing. "An exciting and essential read for professionals to understand the nature of recovery. Explicit but comprehensive, this book is for nurses and other professionals in mental health. The book takes us from the origins of recovery through to practical advice and scenarios that place the service user at the core. This encapsulates the true meaning of recovery and how we can implement and facilitate these approaches within contemporary healthcare. The book acknowledges politics and how the political arena can influence and shape services" May Baker, Senior Lecturer in Mental Health, Liverpool John Moores University, UK
