Nearly five hundred million people worldwide suffer from neuropsychiatric disorders, representing, in aggregate, 14% of the global burden of disease in low, middle and high income countries. Although there have been notable scientific advances in the global mental health domain, challenges still remain in knowledge transmission and application, as well as in access to care and in eradicating shame, stigma, and discrimination. 21st Century Global Mental Health serves as a reliable and authoritative text on the subject of global mental health and its integration with public health and primary care. The book thoroughly examines the progress to date and the challenges that still remain. In five sections, it explores: • Global Mental Health Epidemiology and Diagnostic Systems • The Determinants of Health/Mental Health • Populations’ Health/Mental Health • Evaluating and strengthening health/mental health systems • Human Rights, Stigma, Mental Health Policy and the Media 21st Century Global Mental Health is an equally valuable resource for graduate students, educators and practitioners in public health, mental health and primary care as well as a reference text for policymakers. Grounded in theory, the book uses a systemic, systematic, collaborative and integrative approach and offers practical applications and implementations relevant to education and training, services, research, and policy.

21St Century Global Mental Health PDF

This book makes a significant contribution to global mental health (GMH) and indeed to the overall global health domain. It is an excellent compilation of materials (12 chapters) written by 35 scholars from 12 countries. Three areas in particular stand out to me: 1) the timeliness of this book--GMH is at a point now where a critical mass of research, reports, and good practice has been compiled for use in a variety of training settings; 2) the appreciation for the overlapping realities of human rights, public health, trans-cultural perspectives, and social determinants of health in GMH; and 3) the presentation of the materials in a readable, interesting, and helpful format . My sincere thanks to Dr. Sorel for this fine book. May it help guide our action as we work together to promote health, develop national health policies/budgets, and prevent/treat MNS conditions! Dr. Kelly O'Donnell, Consulting Psychologist and Moderator of the GMH-Map website ([...])
