Culture and Mental Health: A Comprehensive Textbook is an authoritative text bringing together experts from around the world to discuss the provision of mental-health services within multicultural societies and what this means in clinical and practical terms. The book looks in detail at the clinical state of services for multicultural societies across the globe, drawing on a diversity of medical- and social- science disciplines in order to provide a breadth and depth of information that is not to be found in such a clear and cohesive form anywhere else. The impact of cultural differences on the management of those with mental-health disorders, whether ethical, religious, legal, or social, is compared in a number of settings and is supported by academic or experiential based evidence where appropriate.
