International Perspectives on Mental Health
Edited by
Hamid Ghodse
International Perspectives on
Mental Health is a unique
collection of authoritative briefings from over 90 countries
around the world. Each chapter covers demographics, mental health
resources, undergraduate education, postgraduate training in
psychiatry, research activities, mental health legislation, policy
and development strategies within the chosen country.
Each chapter is written by experienced senior
practitioners who have intimate knowledge of all aspects of
psychiatry, including workforce, policy and delivery models. They
offer a wealth of information as well as critical examination and
evaluation of service development. The chapters were originally
commissioned, reviewed and edited for publication in the
College’s journal International
Psychiatry.
There is a growing recognition of the cultural aspects of
psychiatric practice in different regions, and in today’s
globalised society many health professionals have interests that
cross geographical boundaries. This is the first book of its kind
that will meet the needs of this diverse group of readers.
Readership:
The book should interest all
psychiatrists and is particularly useful for those working in
multicultural societies (where differing cultural aspects can
impact on psychiatric practice) and for those with interests that
cross geographical boundaries.
About the editor: Hamid Ghodse is Professor
of Psychiatry and Director of the International Centre for
Drug Policy, at St. George’s, University of London.
