Patient groups are gaining power and demanding their right to influence the direction of research, while funding bodies are increasingly regarding patient involvement as a requirement for grant applications. However, current knowledge on how to involve service users in mental health research is sparse and dispersed. This book provides clear guidance on best practice in this area, with practical advice based on experience in countries around the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHandbook of Service User Involvement in Mental Health Research\u003c\/i\u003e describes the background and principles underlying the concept of service user involvement in mental health research; it provides relevant practical advice on how to engage with service users and how to build and maintain research collaboration on a professional level.
