The two most important notions concerning the rights of people with
mental illnesses are among the most neglected: the first is that
human rights and duties are complementary and that both must be
considered in constructing a framework for mental health care. The
second is that we must strive for equity in developing mental
health programs. Inequity and Madness: Psychosocial and Human
Rights Issues addresses both these notions. It provides the
background and the facts about fulfilment of needs and the
protection of human rights of people with mental illnesses. The
wealth of information that it provides and the clarity of its
presentation make it a document of immediate practical usefulness
to all those trying to help people with mental illnesses and those
who look after them. At the same time, however, the sincerity and
vigour of its text make it clear that this book is a personal
statement of commitment to the achievement of equity for all
people, with or without mental illnesses. "I hope that Inequity and
Madness will be widely read and share the hope - which was clearly
on Professor GuimA3n's mind when he undertook to produce this
volume - that this book will contribute to improving the quality of
life of those with mental illnesses and those who help them to live
through times of devastating diseases and misery that is often an
unnecessary consequence." Professor Norman Sartorius - From the
Foreword.
