As homelessness becomes an increasingly visible problem, the health
care of homeless people is beginning to appear on the agenda of
politicians, health care workers, and policy makers. In contrast
with the popular stereotype of elderly alcoholic males or bag
ladies which the word homeless tends to trigger, homelessness
affects families as well as young single people. The health needs
of these various groups are not homogeneous. This book brings
together the experience of mental health care teams around the
world in addressing the problems of mental illness in the homeless.
The difficulties in assessment and service delivery are discussed
at length with an emphasis on application of existing knowledge in
health care. In addressing social policy implications as well as
clinical management, models, and definitions of homelessness in
different cultures, this volume will offer a practical support for
all those working with the homeless on a day-to-day basis.
