There is increasing awareness of how mental health and well-being can impact upon learning and teaching, and it seems that there are increasing pressures on young people in education, with associated implications for health and well-being. ; The book includes excellent contributions from an experienced set of authors, and the chapters deal with key issues that link to mental health and well-being. The content includes reflections on stress; anxiety; social anxiety disorder; depression; serious mental illness; post-traumatic stress disorder; substance misuse; grief and loss; work-life balance and developing support for colleagues who are working with learners with health and well-being needs. It will interest anyone who is interested in teaching and learning, especially those who base their teaching practice on the work of Rogers (2004) and others, regarding the detrimental consequences of `anxiety' in pedagogy; this book complements these brilliant ideas. ; The book has been planned very effectively, with both the authors and chapters complementing each other. The reflections and reflective activities provided within the well-structured chapters are especially helpful. The authors and editors have clearly given much thought to making the content as engaging as possible. There are also many useful case studies that develop the themes in easily accessible ways. ; Overall, this book reveals the pedagogical consequences of a world in which there appear to be abundant mental-health needs in the classroom. In producing such a comprehensive volume, in which the implications of mental health needs for pedagogy are reflected upon so effectively, the book makes an excellent contribution that is as informed as it is timely.
