Violence is one of the most important challenges, not only for
public health systems, but also for public mental health. Violence
can have immediate as well as long-term and even transgenerational
effects on the mental health of its victims. This book provides a
comprehensive and wide-ranging assessment of the mental health
legacy left by violence. It addresses the issues as they affect
states, communities and families, in other words at macro-, meso-
and microlevels, beginning by describing the impact of violence on
neurobiology and mental health, as well as the spectrum of
syndromes and disorders associated with different forms of
violence. The work moves on to tackle violence at the
international—and intranational—level before zeroing in on the
nature of violence in communities such as villages or city
districts. It also examines the results of violence in the family.
Each type of violence has distinct effects on mental health and in
each chapter specific groups are explored in depth to demonstrate
the heterogeneity of violence as well as the diversity of its
outcomes in the realm of public mental health. Finally, the book
addresses the notion of ‘undoing violence’ by detailing case
studies of effective interventions and prevention occurring in
countries, communities and families. These cases give us pause to
reflect on the nature of resilience and dignity in the context of
violence and mental health. All the chapters have been written by
leading authors in the field and provide a state-of-the-art
perspective. The authors, from different fields of expertise,
facilitate interdisciplinary and international insights into the
impact of violence on mental health.

Minorities face particular social strains, and these are often
manifested in their overall mental health. In Israel, just under a
quarter of the citizens are Arab Palestinians, yet very little has
been published exploring the spectrum of mental health issues
prevalent in this population. The work collected here draws on the
first-hand experience of experts working with Israeli Palestinians
to highlight the problems faced by service users, their families,
and their communities. Palestinians in Israel face unique social,
gender, and family-related conditions that also need reliable
research and assessment. Mental Health and Palestinian Citizens in
Israel offers research and observation on three central topics:
socio-cultural determinants of mental health, mental health needs,
and mental health service utilization. From suicidal behaviors and
addiction to generational trauma and the particular concerns of
children and the elderly, this broad and careful collection of
research opens new dialogues on treatment, prevention, and methods
for providing the best possible care to those in need.
