Following on the previous volume, Mental Health in Asia and the
Pacific, which was co-edited with Milton Lewis, this book explores
historical and contemporary developments in mental health in China
and Chinese immigrant populations. It presents the development of
mental health policies and services from the 19th Century until the
present time, offering a clear view of the antecedents of today's
policies and practice. Chapters focus on traditional Chinese
conceptions of mental illness, the development of the Chinese
mental health system through the massive political, social,
cultural and economic transformations in China from the late 19th
Century to the present, and the mental health of Chinese immigrants
in several countries with large Chinese populations. China's
international political and economic influence and its capabilities
in mental health science and innovation have grown rapidly in
recent decades. So has China's engagement in international
institutions, and in global economic and health development
activities. Chinese immigrant communities are to be found in almost
all countries all around the world. Readers of this book will gain
an understanding of how historical, cultural, economic, social, and
political contexts have influenced the development of mental health
law, policies and services in China and how these contexts in
migrant receiving countries shape the mental health of Chinese
immigrants.
