Abstract
The incidence of diagnosed mental and behavioural disorders is increasing worldwide, contributing approximately 11% to the global burden of disease. In Australia, these disorders affect approximately 7.3 million people at some point in their lifetime, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. It is therefore becoming increasingly important for contemporary healthcare practitioners, regardless of their speciality, to be equipped with the skills necessary to work effectively and ethically with people experiencing mental illness.
