The relationship between migration and mental health is
controversial, contested, and pertinent. In a highly mobile world,
where voluntary and enforced movements of population are increasing
and likely to continue to grow, that relationship needs to be
better understood, yet the terminology is often vague and the
issues are wide-ranging. Getting to grips with them requires tools
drawn from different disciplines and professions. Such a
multidisciplinary approach is central to this book. Six historical
studies are integrated with chapters by a theologian, geographer,
anthropologist, social worker and psychiatrist to produce an
evaluation that addresses key concepts and methodologies, and
reflects practical involvement as well as academic scholarship.
Ranging from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, the book
explores the causes of mental breakdown among migrants; the
psychological changes stemming from their struggles with
challenging life circumstances; and changes in medical, political
and public attitudes and responses in different eras and locations.
