Metteri (social work, University of Tampere, Finland) brings together material from a recent conference to examine the fundamental principles and dilemmas of social work with people whose health is under threat. Some chapters discuss the position of individuals and families on different continents as users of health and mental health care services, and some address issues such as the expertise of service users and human rights issues in social work. This work is co-published simultaneously as Social Work in Health Care, vol. 39, nos. 1/2 and 3/4, 2004.
