There is strong scientific evidence that poverty is a cause of
mental illness. This book brings together a body of knowledge from
biomedical and social science literature that is of importance to
both academics and practitioners. It explores a broad range of
issues, including stigma, the recovery model and substance misuse.
The role of childhood adversity is examined, together with other
potential causal mechanisms. The content is accessible and
engaging, with numerous references pointing readers to the best
resources for further information. Poverty is not inevitable, even
in a difficult economic climate. The time is ripe for a scientific
consensus to inform realistic, hopeful and optimistic campaigns to
reduce inequality in the interests of public health and well being.
This book provides an evidence-based resource for mental health
professionals, social scientists and their students. It will be of
interest far beyond those professionally involved in mental health
services and research.
