Health Equity; Shifting the Policy Paradigm to Achieve Equity;
Clinical Considerations in an Equitable Mental Health Care System;

health equity; as well as mental health equity for: Criminal
Justice, Child and Adolescents, Addictions, Collaborative Care, and

Novel in its approach and unique in its scope, Black Mental Health:
Patients, Providers, and Systems examines the role of African
Americans within American psychiatric health care from distinct but
interconnected perspectives. The experiences of both black patients
and the black mental health professionals who serve them are
analyzed against the backdrop of the cultural, societal, and
professional forces that have shaped their place in this
specialized health care arena. The volume opens with the singular,
first-person accounts of five senior black psychiatrists-including
Dr. Altha J. Stewart, president of the American Psychiatric
Association-who describe their individual journeys to the top of
their field, not shying away from discussing the racism and
discrimination that have challenged their paths to leadership. The
book's second part focuses on the complexities of and opportunities
for delivering mental health care to various subsets of the African
American population, including children, women, elderly patients,
and LGBTQ individuals. System design strategies, biological
therapies, and church-based mental health promotion initiatives are
all considered as methods for reducing racial and ethnic
disparities in access to effective treatment. Part III examines the
training of black mental health professionals and their
representation in psychiatry, particularly in the face of
discrimination and implicit bias. A chapter on historically black
colleges and universities discusses the importance of their role in
the delivery of psychiatric services and research development for
African Americans. The fourth part builds on this discussion,
addressing research that is relevant to the care of the black
population. A concluding chapter highlights the key themes that
emerged from each of the previous four parts, providing a holistic
view of the place of black patients and providers in American
psychiatry. With its blend of scholarship, clinical insight, and
training analysis, Black Mental Health is compulsory reading both
for trainees-as care delivery to minority groups is of ever greater
importance-and practicing clinicians, who will glean useful
information from the chapters on research advances and treatment
modalities. Additionally, policy makers, educators, and historians,
among others, will gain a better understanding of the challenges
and necessity of developing integrated approaches to the care of
nondominant groups.
