The essays in this volume discuss racism and sexism as they affect
mental health. In particular, they focus on training, diagnosis,
treatment, and research, emphasizing the power relationships
between individuals and groups that cause unequal access to mental
health care. They offer perspectives on issues and their distinct
effects on mental health: interracial adoptions, teenage
motherhood, gender bias in mental health diagnosis and therapy,
prisons used as substitutes for hospitals, homeless families, and
increasing violence- in the home, on college campuses, and in the
streets.
