Riassunto

A practical guide to managing the mental health care of patients from different cultures.



Within our increasingly multi-cultural society, the needs of patients from other cultures, especially the minority ethnic groups, are being recognized at local and national levels. Cross-cultural Psychiatry shows in detail how to adapt traditional clinical practice for the cross-cultural client.

Recensione

The authors are to be congratulated in managing to condense such a complex and changing subject into a brief guide which I think should be available in the library of every professional and secondary mental health care, and be available as a resource in primary mental health care.
