Improving mental health care through culturally sensitive research and practice
Culturally sensitive practice is a vital component of effective mental health care
in our increasingly diverse societies: Mental illnesses vary in prevalence between
cultural and ethnic groups, as do the meanings attached to them and people’s
responses to them. The important implications of this interplay between culture
and psychopathology for diagnosis and treatment are scrutinized and elucidated
in this comprehensive and well-organized book, which uniquely looks at a range of
practical examples involving various ethnic minority populations in North America
and Europe. Leading experts from around the world have integrated divergent
topics into a systematic and clinically relevant volume. Cultural Variations in Psychopathology:
From Research to Practice is an important resource for researchers
and in particular for any mental health professional who works with ethnically
diverse communities.
