This title was first published in 2003. This work arose out of the
editors' concerns at the British preoccupation with an alleged
epidemic of schizophrenia in people of African descent. Black
people in contact with psychiatric services are commonly classed as
schizophrenic or normal and do not seem to attract any of the
diagnoses or interventions which their white counterparts do. The
editors asked contributors to carry out a critical broad-based
review of a particular area using the technology that has been
developed for conducting systematic literature reviews. The areas
explored were selected by the editors from their own understanding
of disciplines which might have something to contribute. They were
largely disciplines which have an interest in beliefs, feelings,
emotions, thought, politics, language and decision-making. In some
areas there was little material available from literature searches
so the reviewers used their own understanding of the subject matter
rather than existing literature to write critical essays.
