While the social environment of an individual is an essential
component to understanding the management of psychiatric disorders,
these aspects are often ignored due to the emphasis on
pharmacological treatment in contemporary psychiatry. Social
psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry concerned with the social
dimension of mental health and healthcare. It borrows concepts and
methods from the social sciences, including sociology, psychology,
and anthropology, to investigate the social factors that influence
and are relevant to the occurrence, expression, course, and care of
mental disorders. The WASP Textbook on Social Psychiatry aims to
review the history and current state of the field of social
psychiatry. With topics ranging from adolescence to aging, gender,
immigrant and other displaced statuses, religion, and more, this
ambitious book tackles the wide spectrum of social factors that
impact an individual's mental health. Chapters also inspect special
topics of current events, including the impact of SARS-CoV-2
(Covid-19) and the global response to the pandemic on mental
health, the role of social psychiatry in matters of terrorism and
violent conflict, and the consequences of information technology.
The 41 chapters of the textbook-authored by more than 50 experts
from 13 countries and carefully edited by the five editors-present
an invaluable assembly of material which can be used as fundamental
teaching aid in the education of future and current health workers.
