This handbook presents a thorough examination of the intricate
interplay of race, ethnicity, and culture in mental health -
historical origins, subsequent transformations, and the discourses
generated from past and present mental health and wellness
practices. The text demonstrates how socio-cultural identities
including race, gender, class, sexual orientation, disability,
religion, and age intersect with clinical work in a range of
settings. Case vignettes and recommendations for best practice help
ground each in a clinical focus, guiding practitioners and
educators to actively increase their understanding of non-Western
and indigenous healing techniques, as well as their awareness of
contemporary mental health theories as a product of Western culture
with a particular historical and cultural perspective. The
international contributors also discuss ways in which global mental
health practices transcend racial, cultural, ethnic, linguistic,
and political boundaries. The Routledge International Handbook of
Race, Culture and Mental Health is an essential resource for
students, researchers, and professionals alike as it addresses the
complexity of mental health issues from a critical, global
perspective.
