Race, culture and ethnicity all have a bearing on mental health care. This is the first known book to offer mental health professionals working in the statutory, private or voluntary sectors a comprehensive, practical approach to ways of working in a multi-ethnic society. It examines:

the context in which mental health services operate today
the limitations of traditional psychiatric practice
the rising influence of users of services
the practical issues which arise in delivering the services
the legal framework
This is a book which looks at the realities of life in a multi-ethnic community from a practical viewpoint. It is suitable for multidisciplinary trainings, basic trainings and in-service postgraduate trainings in a variety of professions including social work, psychology, psychiatry and nursing.

A thought-provoking handbook for practitioners, students and trainers in the mental health field. Addresses controversial issues and offers revealing insights and intelligent suggestions for all those involved with mental health.
