Product Description

Review


Comment on second edition:

'Thorough, challenging and essential for today's society& multi-cultural professional interventions in mental health'- Ms Sarah Patrick, School of Health and Community Care, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK

Product Description


This powerful text offers a unique analysis of the impact of race and culture on contemporary issues in mental health. Drawing on extensive international experience, Fernando challenges the traditional ideas that inform practice in clinical psychology and psychiatry in order to promote new and alternative ways of thinking.

Covering both theoretical perspectives and practical implications, this insightful text discusses perceptions of ethnicity and identity, compares practices around the world and looks at racism in mental health services. Topics new to the third edition include:
■ Trauma and psychosocial support
■ The new discourses in mental health of recovery, spirituality and well-being
■ The mental health of refugees
■ Specific developments in low-income countries, including Asia and Africa

This fully revised, expanded and updated edition of a seminal text offers students and practitioners alike a comprehensive and reliable study of both western and non-western psychiatry and mental health practices.

First Sentence
The term 'race' entered the English language in the sixteenth century at a time when the Bible was accepted as the authority on human affairs, and was used originally in the sense of lineage, supposedly ordained at the creation of the world (Banton, 1987). Read the first page

book came as specified. book itself is a good overview of the race and mental health field, but more geared towards practitioners than researchers, fyi
