This book contains diverse chapters examining homelessness from a
myriad of perspectives, from global perspectives to clinical
perspectives. An international group of authors consider clinical
and theoretical factors in the lives of people that are homeless
and the services and policies that affect their lives. The
international chapters provide different perspectives regarding the
culturally-embedded nature of our perceptions of homelessness
including definitions of homelessness, mental illness, and the
expectations of family and support systems. These chapters include
information from Ireland, a number of Asian countries, South
Africa, Spain, the Czech Republic, and North America. From within
the United States, the book presents different models for
understanding, developing, and disseminating interventions for
people that are homeless, and have mental illnesses and/or
substance use disorders. The book explores the needs of special
populations such as racial and ethnic minorities as well as those
who experience mild developmental delays as well as mental illness
and homelessness. Two chapters explore attitudes towards people
that are homeless and that may have behavioral health problems.
Finally, the role of climate and the forces of nature are reviewed
for unique perspectives on homelessness. These multidisciplinary
perspectives on an important issue are both thought-provoking and
educational.
