This international survey defines mental health as a basic human
right, and tracks the emergence of mental health prevention and
promotion as a global priority. Locating mental illness within a
cycle of negative causes and effects affecting human quality of
life, the editors identify modern policy barriers to
promotion/prevention initiatives, particularly the favoring of the
biomedical health model by major stakeholders. The book's selection
of successful programs from diverse countries displays a lifespan
approach, emphasizing the centrality of interdisciplinary
educational settings in providing primary and secondary prevention
and promotion interventions, and the ongoing fight against missing
financial investigations, discrimination and stigma. Together,
these papers make a forceful argument for rights- based responses
to worldwide mental health needs as part of the commitment toward
global human rights and long-term development goals. Included in
the coverage: * Mental health priorities around the world. * Social
determinants of mental health. * Mental health and stigma: aspects
of anti-stigma interventions. * Promoting social and emotional
wellbeing and responding to mental health problems in schools. *
The promotion and delivery of mental health services in primary
care settings. * Economic evaluation of mental health promotion and
mental illness prevention. Bringing to the fore public health
concerns that are too often marginalized, Global Mental Health is
necessary reading for health professionals, health and clinical
psychologists, psychiatrists, medical sociologists, and
policymakers.
