Insight 30 April 2007

By R. Iyassu

Format:Paperback

This is a great book. Not only is it informative but innovative also. The authors use examples and case studies of topics being discussed making the issues more comprehendible. The issue of psychiatric misdiagnosis amoung ethnic minorities is looked at decently with revelation into common religious practices around the world and the possible mental health associations that could follow. Not only does the text appeal to mental health personell, the simplicity of the writing style makes it understandably to the lay man.
