Amazon.com description: Product Description: Grouped in four sections - conceptual overview, individuals and families, social problems and the community, and teaching, learning, research and training - these essays discuss racism and sexism as they affect people's mental health. In particular, they focus on training, diagnosis, treatment and research, emphasising the power relationship between individuals and groups that cause unequal access to mental health care. They examine the providers of services and the recipients in a variety of settings and consider the many different ways of overcoming and dealing with adversity. The collection forges a link between racism and mental health and between sexism and mental health as fields of study that could help lead society from the possibility of chaos to community.
