About this work
Description
"Theories and traditions that we inherit and live with determine our current understanding of mental health. African, Asian and native American traditions promote ways of thinking that are different from those in the West dominated by Western psychiatry Informed throughout by a deep awareness of both racial and cultural issues, the author describes and analyses mental health theory, practice, tradition and innovation around the globe in the context of a diversity of world-views and of problems arising from racism"--back cover.
