Paperback. Social justice entails equal access to liberties, rights,and opportunities, as well as care for the least advantaged members ofsociety. The paradigm-shifting new book Social (In)Justice and Mental Healthaddresses the ways in which society's failure to deliver on that humaneideal harms people with mental illness. The editors, at the forefront of theeffort to make psychiatry responsive to critiques of institutional racism,argue that in the United States, a perfect storm of unfair and unjustpolicies and practices, bolstered by deep-seated beliefs about theinferiority of some groups, has led to a small number of people havingtremendous advantages, freedoms, and opportunities, while a growing numberare denied those liberties and rights. Mental health clinicians bear aspecial responsibility to be aware of these structural inequities, toquestion their own biases, to intervene on behalf of patients and theirfamilies, and to advocate for mental health equity. To that end, the bookprovides a framework for thinking about why these inequities exist andpersist and provides clinicians with a road map to address theseinequalities as they relate to racism, the criminal justice system, andother systems and diagnoses.The book is hands-on, with topics mentalhealth clinicians will find timely and relevant: The role of social injustice and specific diagnoses and conditions,including substance use disorders, schizophrenia, personality disorders, andchild trauma, is covered. For example, research has shown that whitepsychiatrists are more likely to over diagnose schizophrenia in Blackpatients, and this diagnostic bias may partly account for Black men beinginvoluntarily committed to mental institutions in higher numbers. Theauthors advocate for research that prioritizes the needs of participants andcommunities, rather than the needs of institutions, and focuses onstructural, not individual-level, differences. Accompaniment, animportant strategy for infusing social justice into clinical practice, isdescribed and modeled. This process of radical empathyof trying to minimizepower dynamics in clinical relationships by listening, witnessing, andadvocating with patientsis critically important in confronting mentalhealth inequities. The inadequacy of current medical and mentalhealth education and training in countering the powerful forces of socialinjustice in mental health is discussed in detail. The authors emphasizethat change requires adopting an active practice of self-study andself-reflection, and accordingly, a list of self-study resources, consistingof books, documentaries, podcasts, and TED talks, is provided to further thereader's knowledge and awareness. Of further assistance are thechapter-ending "Questions for Self-Reflection," which challenge mentalhealth clinicians to examine their own attitudes and preconceived ideasabout race, poverty, disabilities, and privilege. Social(In)Justice and Mental Health addresses the context in which mentalhealth care is delivered, strategies for raising consciousness in the mentalhealth profession, and ways to improve treatment while redressing injustice.Clinicians owe it to themselves, their patients, and their profession toreadand heedthis important work. Introduces readers to the concept of social justice and the outsized, but often ignored, role that social injustice plays in the identification, diagnosis, and management of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. This is a powerful, multidisciplinary text that mental health clinicians will find illuminating and instructive.

Social justice entails equal access to liberties, rights, and opportunities, as well as care for the least advantaged members of society. The paradigm-shifting new book Social (In)Justice and Mental Health addresses the ways in which society's failure to deliver on that humane ideal harms people with mental illness. The editors, at the forefront of the effort to make psychiatry responsive to critiques of institutional racism, argue that in the United States, a perfect storm of unfair and unjust policies and practices, bolstered by deep-seated beliefs about the inferiority of some groups, has led to a small number of people having tremendous advantages, freedoms, and opportunities, while a growing number are denied those liberties and rights. Mental health clinicians bear a special responsibility to be aware of these structural inequities, to question their own biases, to intervene on behalf of patients and their families, and to advocate for mental health equity. To that end, the book provides a framework for thinking about why these inequities exist and persist and provides clinicians with a road map to address these inequalities as they relate to racism, the criminal justice system, and other systems and diagnoses.
The book is hands-on, with topics mental health clinicians will find timely and relevant: • The role of social injustice and specific diagnoses and conditions, including substance use disorders, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and child trauma, is covered. For example, research has shown that white psychiatrists are more likely to over diagnose schizophrenia in Black patients, and this diagnostic bias may partly account for Black men being involuntarily committed to mental institutions in higher numbers.• The authors advocate for research that prioritizes the needs of participants and communities, rather than the needs of institutions, and focuses on structural, not individual-level, differences.• Accompaniment, an important strategy for infusing social justice into clinical practice, is described and modeled. This process of radical empathy—of trying to minimize power dynamics in clinical relationships by listening, witnessing, and advocating with patients—is critically important in confronting mental health inequities. • The inadequacy of current medical and mental health education and training in countering the powerful forces of social injustice in mental health is discussed in detail. The authors emphasize that change requires adopting an active practice of self-study and self-reflection, and accordingly, a list of self-study resources, consisting of books, documentaries, podcasts, and TED talks, is provided to further the reader's knowledge and awareness. • Of further assistance are the chapter-ending "Questions for Self-Reflection," which challenge mental health clinicians to examine their own attitudes and preconceived ideas about race, poverty, disabilities, and privilege.
Social (In)Justice and Mental Health addresses the context in which mental health care is delivered, strategies for raising consciousness in the mental health profession, and ways to improve treatment while redressing injustice. Clinicians owe it to themselves, their patients, and their profession to read—and heed—this important work.
