    Summary: This book showcases current thinking on social work in the field of mental health and illness from a bio-ecological and spiritual framework reflecting the transition in mental health care from institution to community. The book presents a valuable tool for understanding theories on aetiology and social work interventions in mental health from varying socio-cultural, economic and political contexts. Topics covered include: the values and ethics of social work practice in mental health; psycho-social theories on mental health and illness, including psychological perspective and the structural/ social development perspective; social work approaches in working with individuals, families and communities; contextualized social work practice in mental health with a specific population group or community; structural factors such as legal provision and financial challenges in mental health and illness; and new directions in social work and mental health.

    A specific antibody to myelin basic protein has been used to localize the protein in developing rat oligodendroglia and myelin. Basic protein is found in the oligodendroglial cytoplasm of anterior commissures of 5- and 7-day old rats before the beginning of myelination. Staining of basic protein in oligodendroglia increases, becoming most intense during early myelination; it decreases during rapid myelination. Staining intensity of oligodendroglia is dependent upon age, brain region, and nervous tract studied. In myelin, reaction of basic protein with antibody decreases when large compact sheaths are present, unless tissue sections are first treated with alcohol.
