Cultural Diversity, Mental Health and Psychiatry by Suman Fernando

Cultural Diversity, Mental Health and Psychiatry by Suman Fernando

Cultural Diversity, Mental Health and Psychiatry explores how and why black and minority ethnic communities have little confidence in mental health services.

"Fernando's book should be compulsory if we are genuinely committed to providing mental health services that are free from racism" - Frank Keating, Mental Health Today, March 2004

"This well-written book by an accepted original thinker and expert in the field of transcultural psychiatry adds considerably to the current debate about the links between mental health, psychiatry, cultural diversity and racism... this carefully crafted text is highly recommended for all psychiatrists... there is no doubt that this book is an important addition to the ongoing work related to transcultural psychiatry." - Deenesh Khoosal, Consultant Psychiatrist, British Journal of Psychiatry

"...this is an extremely important book, which all mental health practitioners should read..." – Dr Simon Clarke, Psychotherapy and Politics International, Iss 3, 2005
