As with any other area of health-related academic activity outputs from philosophy and mental health include contributions to the development of improved services for patients and service users

These and other resources of the increasingly well-stocked values toolkit supporting contemporary clinical care are sufficiently covered elsewhere.
It is the latter that are indexed here.
