Quality of life in disability and mental health

A comprehensive manual for measuring, assessing, and promoting quality of life in care and support pathways for people with disabilities and mental health conditions. This book is an essential working tool for professionals and organisations seeking to update their practice and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions not only in clinical terms, but also from human and social perspectives.

Through an interdisciplinary approach, the volume explores the construct of Quality of Life in both its foundational and most innovative aspects — from its connection with spirituality to the concrete application of a unified Quality of Life model within services, health and social care organisations, and rehabilitation centres.

The manual is further enriched with practical tools (questionnaires, grids, and assessment scales) and strategies aimed at improving people’s lives, promoting equity, and guiding organisations towards models that are truly person-centred and inclusive of family networks.
