This fully updated edition gives an insight into the opportunities and challenges of mental health professionals and interpreters working together in mental health.

Drawing on extensive theory, research, and practice, chapters combine contributions from a range of disciplines on topics including interpreters in medical consultations; issues of language provision in health care services; the application of theoretical frameworks to the work with interpreters; and the work of interpreters in a variety of practice settings. This thoroughly revised edition also features additional chapters exploring interpreter perspectives on their work, along with new chapters on working with interpreters in forensic settings, in IPAT/primary care settings, in humanitarian work, in schools, and with older adults, as well as presenting an interprofessional approach to interpreter and therapist training.

This book will be invaluable for practitioners of psychology, psychiatry, social work, and other health professionals. It will also be relevant to interpreters working with mental health professionals and their managers and service leads. It will be of interest to anyone involved in commissioning language support in health and social care services.
