Routledge International Handbook of Race Culture and Mental Health

<p>This handbook presents a thorough examination of the intricate interplay of race, ethnicity, and culture in mental health – historical origins, subsequent transformations, and the discourses generated from past and present mental health and wellness practices.</p><p>The text demonstrates how socio-cultural identities including race, gender, class, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and age intersect with clinical work in a range of settings. Case vignettes and recommendations for best practice help ground each in a clinical focus, guiding practitioners and educators to actively increase their understanding of non-Western and indigenous healing techniques, as well as their awareness of contemporary mental health theories as a product of Western culture with a particular historical and cultural perspective. The international contributors also discuss ways in which global mental health practices transcend racial, cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and political boundaries.</p><p>The Routledge International Handbook of Race, Culture and Mental Health is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals alike as it<i> </i>addresses the complexity of mental health issues from a critical, global perspective. </p> <p><strong>Part I.</strong> 1.
