Money matters

Abstract

Money - not only lack of it but also getting it, banking it, saving and investing it - is a central part of most people's lives. From drawing benefits through a bank account to buying a house, people with mental health problems have a need and right to access financial services at various levels. Peter Campbell explores the issues, including the discrimination reported by respondents to a survey conducted by the campaign group Loonscape, and the possible solutions they suggested. © 2005, Emerald Group Publishing Limited
