The ten principles of values-based practice described in this chapter are illustrated by a corresponding ten-part clinical history of a woman with bipolar disorder, Diane Abbott, ‘The Artist who Couldn’t See Colors’. Diane Abbott’s story shows in particular how values-based and evidence-based approaches work together to support full partnership in clinical decision-making between patients and clinicians.
The Sainsbury Centre team also worked with Piers Allott (a leading figure in the early service user led recovery movement in the UK) on the use of e-conferencing to reach marginalized groups

Textbooks and Edited Collections
Besides Essential Values-based Practice a number of textbooks and other collections include helpful outlines of values-based practice

Morgan A, Felton A, Fulford K. W. M, Kalathil J and Stacey G.(forthcoming 2015) Values and Ethics: an Exploration for Mental Health Practice. Palmgrave Macmillan
As its title suggests this book explores some of the links between values-based practice and ethics in mental health. It focuses in particular on the relatively neglected (in values-based practice) issue of power relationships. Three of the authors are members of The Critical Values-based Practice Network. The book is unique in being fully co-written by authors representing both service user and service provider perspectives.
Toby Williamson and Rowena Daw’s Law, Values and Practice integrates values-based practice and legislation in an accessible style and authoritative way that is richly illustrated with case studies. Many current issues are covered including Human Rights, Mental Health and Mental Capacity legislation and their implications for challenging areas of practice ranging from children’s health to care homes.

- low back pain (chapters 1, 2 and 14)
- acute psychiatric admission (chapter 4)
- teenage acne (Chapter 5)
- smoking cessation (chapter 6)
- diabetes control (chapter 7)
- breast cancer (chapter 8)

- hypertension (chapter 10)
- abdominal emergency in casualty (chapter 11)
- assisted fertility (chapter 12)
- end of life care (chapter 13)

Other cultures
Training in values-based practice has been successfully implemented in non-Western as well as Western countries.
Werdie van Staden runs a values-based training program with medical students at Pretoria Medical School. He has also used Batho Pele, an African form of values-based practice, in an enriched concept of person-centered care and in the practical context of running research ethics committees

David Davies and Ed Peile have developed a successful application of values-based practice in the training of non-physician clinicians in a fieldwork context in Malawi. This work is currently being written up but you can see them in action at [page being developed].
On-going Development
Building on the above materials several groups are actively engaged in on-going work developing training programs for values-based practice in different areas.
Further development of resources for teaching and learning about values is a priority area for every part of the values toolkit.
