Beschreibung
This book is a fully updated and expanded edition that adds results, experiences, and lessons learned since the first edition was published. Various articles and books have been published on global mental health, but few of them thoroughly cover the clinical, research, innovation, and social implications as they pertain to psychiatry; often, only one of these aspects is covered. A comprehensive text grows more and more valuable each day as clinicians struggle to piece together the changes around the world that leave open the possibility for improved outcomes in care. This edition builds on the first to answer this need.
Since the first edition was published, the complex field of global mental health has expanded. Institutions, NGOs, states and countries have participated in bilateral and other arrangements within the global space. During this period the world witnessed a dramatic and significant pandemic, COVID-19. In the previous edition many of the contributors gave examples of projects and research in their infancy. Therefore, this volume provides information based on the experiences of the last four years. The contributors review their previous experiences, provide results, and express the lessons they have learned since the initiation of their studies or interventions. New topics covered in this edition include, amongst others, psychedelics, stigma and disability, climate change and environmentalism, immigration and refugee problems, and artificial intelligence.
Innovations in Global Mental Health, Second Edition is the ultimate resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians, hospitalists, policy makers, and all medical professionals at the forefront of global mental health and its implications for the future.
Serves as a trustworthy reference for emerging challenges in global mental health Describes the historical background of globalization and global mental health Thoroughly covers the clinical, research, innovation, and social implications of global mental health
