People from ethnic minorities are over represented in secure
psychiatric care, and have been reported to receive differential
treatment by staff. It has been suggested that these people
(especially Afro-Caribbean groups) suffer from prejudicial legal,
criminal justice and psychiatric systems. This topical and
controversial collection questions whether Western and
white-oriented practice and systems of belief can -- or should --
be applied to service users from other cultural, racial, ethical or
spiritual backgrounds.
The contributors are experts from a range of psychiatric,
criminal justice, legal and ethical backgrounds, and, uniquely,
include patients who recount their own experience of forensic care
settings. They examine and explore the central theoretic issues,
such as culture, power, difference and participation, and relate
them to examples of current practice, and to the improvement of
future service provision. They identify techniques and approaches
which will make care and treatment more sensitive and
equitable.
Race, Culture and Ethnicity in Psychiatric Practice: Working
with Difference provides essential and often controversial
information and analysis which exposes society's view of minorities
and the influence these views may have on care professionals
working in psychiatric and criminal justice systems. It details
practical steps for improvement to ensure a more equitable and
culturally sensitive service provision.
